[quote=Anonymous]As long as FSIQ is in the average range - so above 80 - there is no reason your child shouldn’t be able to succeed in “regular” school. The ADHD goes hand in hand with some of the deficits they identified, or maybe the ADHD is traveling along with another different brain wiring. My kid has dyslexia, and had all the same things you list. He is now 17, and doesn’t take foreign language. It isn’t a big deal at all. He can learn someday through immersion it is important to him. He’s starting to look at colleges and has plenty of options. He gets okay grades in a challenging private school, and would do better if he actually put in the work (he isn’t fond of academics, given his profile, and that’s been a life-long headache but really not a big deal in the big scheme of things). It’s gonna be okay. Next step is the IEP and figuring out supports. Read the appropriate books on learning differences, etc, and you’ll get your head around it soon.[/quote]
