- knows how to write the letters S and H but refuses to try or acknowledge that he knows any others
- knows his colours but again, refuses to let us know he knows and tries to throw us off by intentionally saying the wrong colour when asked. we know it's intentional because I heard him telling Hayden at dinner the other night that his plate was yellow and Hayden's plate was red.
