[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 509438, member: 11001"] Thanks for the update. Sounds like you have some stuff worked out. Better for him to be upfront about the ADD and go to student services. That is why they are there. They can get him help anywhere from a notetaker, to a labtop, etc. Glad you set boundaries. Be prepared to follow through. He will probably test the waters. I encourage you to examine you expectations of him as well. I have had to do this with both my kids. While they were both brighter than normal, they both had issues-son ADHD and daughter with PTSD (and what ever else). What we wanted and what they can actually do on their own timeline have been 2 different things. I have had to grieve the loss of the children I though I had and except the children I do have. You boy may be just fine once are stable for him but I just wanted give you a heads up.. [/QUOTE]
