[quote=Anonymous]Regardless of ADHD, freshman year can be a rough transition. My DS (now a Jr) also has ADHD and DD (now a freshman) does not. DS really struggled freshman year and we had to have him work with tutors and add medication but is now a Jr with straight As in challenging classes. It got a lot better sophomore year. He still does very little with extracurriculars at school but is involved in a few things at our church. DD is taking a somewhat heavier class load than DS did freshman year and did an intense EC in Fall/winter. She was struggling a lot with organization and keeping up with the work and has decided to just do a light EC for the rest of the school year so she can focus on classwork. I'd say OP's child should focus on classwork right now and not worry about ECs. If he wants to do more as he progresses through HS, that's great. What you do freshman year doesn't have to define all of HS.[/quote]
