[quote=Anonymous]My son has autism/ADHD/dysgraphia/dyscalculia. When you say "challenges with organizing thoughts in written form" that is a weakness that is routinely seen in kids with ADHD and autism, so your kid might have something more than just a dysgraphia diagnosis, OP. Funnily enough, no dyslexia. I was his writing tutor and organizational coach in elementary. For middle school, I hired a writing tutor, and by high school, he had made so much progress that he didn't need a general writing coach, but he had help anyway because we hired tutors for his AP history exams (which include a specific form of writing). I continued to be his executive function coach all throughout his childhood. Medication for ADHD was essential, of course. He would not have been able to absorb and implement his tutors' explanations without meds. [/quote]
