he sounds like my daughter 19 yrs old and learning age of 10. She can read and write but doesnt process what she has read. Every sentence is individual to her...she cant follow a story of instructions.

She also gets the wrong end of the stick a lot of the time

Think father Dougal out of father ted meets monty python. Surreal but makes sense somtimes and always funny.

she is now playing out with the schoolies!
