[quote=Anonymous]DA was like that but high function ages 7-9 or so. Now at 14 he's still not really into sports but plays chess, boulders great and XC champ on school team. We did 2 yrs of total speech therapy but he's prob only 96% or so. He's got anxiety dyslexia and ADD not the H part. Social skills are not comfortable and inflex can't relax and chill make small talk. But A student on meds in 8th grade and let me tell you - you're not going to fix it all or know what to fix in 1-2 yrs. Address his ADD and get him a therapist. Or do speech therapy and meds. Do 1-2 things not 3-4 because I tell you it's even more stress for you and demoralizing to a kid who then feels like they are so F up they need that much help. Just let them be and prioritize your supports and tools as they grow. Slowly but surely even not 100, they will be alright![/quote]
