It's good hear that your boy is doing so well. I know you were struggling with it a few months back, but you seem to have a better grasp of the situation than you did.

Matthew has these problems as well. He also not very coordinated and walks in a stiff legged/bouncy fashion. He becomes so focus on something that he will wait too long to use the restroom and will have an accident. I had to a cooking timer in the room and set it to go off every 90 minutes in order for him to go to the bathroom. We joke around a lot in our family, but he rarely gets that we are joking. He takes everything very literal. He is also exceptionally bright. He is reading at a 6th grade level despite being in the 2nd grade. I don't know if it is Asperger's Syndrome, but he has a lot of the markers for it.
Thanks to both of you guys. I'll be sure to have him looked at for other possible problems (if my ex-wife is willing to listen).
