[quote=Anonymous]Why is he depressed and anxious? My ADHD/HFA son wouldn't make friends in any setting, and is "appropriately" stressed as a college-applying high schooler (you cannot go through high school and not be!), so we never moved him from MCPS. He's graduating this year, with a 504, after spending K-11 with an IEP. We didn't need to fight MCPS for anything - just got the neuropsych at Stixrud's and received various services and accommodations, that now have dwindled to extended time, since this is all that the school can give him. School cannot magic him a desire to start and maintain friendships, or make him magically attentive or tuned in socially. We tried social skills groups at Alvord and Baker's, when he was younger, to no avail. So essentially he's just his introverted self all the time. It's fine. [/quote]
