[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 561668, member: 1550"] I really, really hopes it works for him. If not, have you thought of Special Olympics? That gives all kids a chance to play and many are VERY GOOD! Also helps with social skills and self-esteem. My son has done it for years and I credit this as one large component as to why he is exceeding everyone's expectations of him. Some are lower functioning athletes, but some are very high functioning! The kids have a blast. My son has a similar background to yours (the whole nine yards with the birthmom and substance abuse and the cognitive disorder not otherwise specified part of his diagnosis, even though his IQ is normal, etc). He also needed something to do. We had to force him to do it at first, but now he loves it and he seems much more a regular young man now than he did before. You may find it a great experience for your son. [/QUOTE]
