Congratulations of the impending birth of a son, Ash. How miraculous. Quite a gift. It is interesting that my second a (and youngest) son understood in second grade that he was having difficulty with learning and told me he was "never going to make it at that big school across the street (Intermediate School.) We spent a 4 hour session each week over the course of a summer The Center for Learning at National Louis University in Evanston, Illinois, USA, where they evaluated his learning processes. It was fascinating, really, to see how the experts evaluate our intelligence and creative ability. We all have highs and lows on the scales. One thing they found for my son was his significant difficulty getting information from short term to long term memory. Their report gave us strategies to accomplish this for him. There may be some for you somewhere too!
