Yeah! I get off at 215. Thankfully they went to all day kindergarten this year. It's good for him, he needs school all day for one he loves school, and it helps with daycare sad to say. My dad watches him in the morning and he gets off the bus at 335.
My son has had delays and has been in therapy since right before his 2nd birthday. I am not going to get too in to it, people are assholes around here. Anyways, having him full day kindergarten has helped so much. He is in a integrated kindergarten with children who needed therapy like him and then "normal" children.
He still has problems with some things, but very few, and he has moved on to first grade words on his flash cards ahead of some of the "normal" kids. I think a lot of it before was him being stubborn. No clue where he gets it.

With smart kids it can sometimes be boredom that results in them acting out to get attention. Once they start to discover that learning can be fun there is no stopping them. If you can get them into reading they will always be exploring new things with their minds.
My son is very smart. He observes quite a bit plus he memorizes words and patterns of words. Last soccer season before he could read most kindergarten words he read a sign for a pizza place called the Fieldhouse. We had been there before and he recognized the pattern of the word. He started doing this early on with the guide on the TV, memorizing the names of TV shows. The kid is smart, I am just glad we have been able to unlock some of it.
When he was younger he wouldn't talk, and that is how this all started with therapy. Then I realized he liked dinosaurs. The kid had problems with speech yet could name almost every single dinosaur when showing him their picture by the time he was three.
A few months ago my sister was bragging about her seven year old son knowing all the dinosaurs. Lol I just smiled.

That's true of a lot of kids I think; just the bit about learning being tied to what interests them.
My nephew is on the autism spectrum, as is my grandson. My grandson doesn't have a lot to say, but man does he chat up a blue streak in honor of legos, trains, and Doctor Who.
