[quote=Anonymous]My DS did well in HS but had trouble with executive function.  Needed lots of reminders and really struggled with large exams.  Seemed the format for HS was primarily quizzes and projects so he got straight As (with me serving has his executive function), but often did poorly on unit tests and then would get his grades up and never got higher than a 2 on an AP exam.

Low self esteem, depression and anxiety.  We got him into therapy in January (it took months to convince him, he had a therapist junior year and he was able to BS the person into thinking he was fine and discontinuing) but after a scare in the fall, we pressed and it is going to be a long road.  DS said therapist said he doesn't need meds, but he is an adult so that type of info is not open to us.

Looking for internships and it is really hard with a 2.8 GPA.  We talked about applying as practice but this year just to get a regular old job or perhaps retake a class (it is still on the transcript but improves the GPA).  But looking forward, assuming he graduates with a 3.0, how hard is that going to be to get an internship closer to graduation or a job afterwards.

Stressing here so I don't stress him.  [/quote]
