[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 531221, member: 84"] Buddy may have nailed it. Has difficult child ever had an MRI? Perhaps, whether he's had one in the past or not, it's time for him to have one. AND while he's at it, another neuropsychologist evaluation. Why? Because even a neuropsychologist tends to be somewhat subjective based on who is giving the evaluation opinion of difficult child's responses. The picture you're giving me is not one of a kid functioning too well..........it's a kid with some possible real issues that have a high probablity of effecting work, home, social, ect. Something somewhere is being missed. If the sport difficult child plays gives him chance for head injury, as in repeated concussions......even minor ones........can cause damage depending on where, amt of force ect. He's acting like a person with a brain injury. Trust me I have one myself, as does Travis....... Travis can not organize. He simply can not do it due to an area of his brain that was injured. If you give him too much information at once his brain shuts down with overload (mine too for that matter) and just either does not retain what you said or it doesn't make sense. This latter sounds like what your difficult child may be trying to cope with. So maybe if his coaches break down what they want him to do into much smaller steps, have him practice parts of it separate, then once he has that down combine them into the whole thing........he'll be able to manage better.
