Knowing things one day, forgetting the next is a sign/red flag for fetal alcohol effects. Please see a neuropsychologist who understands Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) so you can work with your child. This is called "Swiss Cheese Thinking." One day they may know all their multiplication tables. The next day they forget. They also tend to be very hyper kids and often defiant and immune to consequences. Even if it turns out not to be this, NeuroPsychs are excellent at spotting what the problems are--in my opinion, they do a lot more testing and pinpoint the best of all professionals--far superior, in my opinion, from therapists and psycologists and even some psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are experts in psychiatric problems, but that excludes neurological problems like high functioning autism and fetal alcohol syndrome. We had no luck until we saw a neuropsychologist. Now son is doing great. Again, good luck.
