The movie "Steel Magnolias" came to mind when reading this article. About the tiime you felt like you were about to burst into tears at the funeral, Sally Fields' character says she just wants to hit someone she is so mad. Olympia Dukakis pushes Shirley McClain forward and tells her to hit her! The audience and characters can't help but laugh.
My son has many of the same issues. He is 8 and can't tie his shoes, button his pants, ride a bike or many other things but he is the top reader in his school and makes me laugh everyday because he is definitely "nuts"!!!
