At least, we think he is. All signs and symptoms point in that direction.
It's problematic.
His Jr. Kindergarten teacher was not impressed with the fact that he didn't know his colours and refused to accept that there was a chance he was colour blind until he was officially tested. We didn't get him tested. I'm pretty sure the teacher believed he was just lazy and dumb. We didn't like her much ...
The colour blindness is problematic when trying to determine if he's ill and we should be concerned.
The other day he was telling us that his tummy hurt and his poo was purple. Purple??
Obviously I was troubled by this ... so I looked at his next poo (which, again, he said was purple). It was light brown. Nothing to be overly concerned about.
He will often say that his pee is green.
Or that when he blows his nose it's all blue and grey.
It's confusing yes, but mostly funny.
His interpretation of colours and the fact that he has only ever known a world with many many different cultures all living and attending school in the same area has been quite amusing.
For example ...
One day he was telling us about his best friend at school and that his best friend "is dark brown."
We laughed a bit to ourselves about his description of his best friend but we were really more interested in this "new" concept of a best friend. So ... we asked him about the other kids in the class - meaning who were some of his other friends - and he replied:
"Orange, green, yellow, black and light brown."
