When I write for a period of time, my hand actually cramps up and hurts quite badly. Typing is much easier on my hands and I can type fast so writing doesn’t take as long! Smart kids often have a hard time when their brain thinks quicker than their hands can write, and then the thought gets lost. I notice that even when I type I will often leave the last letter off of words because I am in such a hurry to get to the next word before I forget what I wanted to say! Maybe he could record himself speaking and write or type a transcription so to speak…

I say typing is the way to go! Don’t stifle his mind because his hands won’t cooperate.

:o)

It’s how people write these days. It allows a completely different creative process. And it makes editing so much easier. I vote word processor!
