[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 670827, member: 5689"] In retrospect, it seems that he knew all the mechanics of doing a research paper. But he was utterly flummoxed when he found that all the sources, including those recommended by the teacher, were either "fluff" or already said what he'd wanted to say, meaning he didn't feel he could add anything new to the debate. And it was too late to modify his topic because of course he only read the sources and planned to write the paper on the night before it was due. So when he said he didn't know how to write the paper, it was true, but not clear. He is, I think, the poster child for smart-but-ADHD. I am thinking he probably needs stimulant medications, but it'll probably be impossible to get his dad to agree to that. Anyhow, I've really enjoyed the comments here. I so wish I could know you all in real life! [/QUOTE]
