[quote=Anonymous]I'm concerned about my son's high school experience. He's at a middle-tier FCPS high school, was in AAP from 3-8th grade, and has ADHD and autism. He has a 504 and is on medication. Freshman year, he had all honors courses, Spanish 1, and 3 sports. It was challenging but he ended with all As, though barely. Now in 10th grade, it's even tougher with 2 AP classes, honors courses, and frequent tests. He's always studying, even at meets, and rarely has time for friends. I hear him turn down friends to study. It's stressful for both of us. I did not have any say in his course selection. He chose them on his own. My question – is this normal or is he just not as efficient as other HS kids? His friends take honors and/or AP classes and make excellent grades, but also seem to have a life. I hate how much he devotes to studying (never thought I’d say those words). Will this only get worse in 11th because 10th is worse than 9th was. Any tips for my son and me?[/quote]
