[quote=Anonymous]Part of this is waiting for the brain to mature. You should also re-evaluate any meds that could be causing irritability. Is he like this in all settings, or just with school stuff?

Take him to visit a traditional college and ask him if this is what he wants to work for. Have him meet with a guidance counselor to have explained the options for after high school, and see what speaks to him. See if he can visit a trade school or whatever.

A few sessions with a family counselor can help to smooth out home interactions and what you can do to support and how he needs to be respectful. A good family therapist will let everyone feel heard. Tell him the sessions are not because he is the problem, but because you need help as a parent.

You will have to come to terms with the fact that he may not follow the same path as everyone else’s kids, and that the main thing is that he is healthy and happy and able to support himself.

You should also have him drug tested.

He might benefit greatly from a summer program like Outward Bound, where he will have a different group of people and will learn a lot about himself.

Try to have some positive interactions with him that are just a moment of fun and appreciation for who he is now.[/quote]
