[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD/ASD kid was tutored in math and did test prep, but after debating whether to hire a college counselor, we kept the applications in-house. He agonized over each of them, and since I was the project manager, I agonized too. I was the one keeping track of deadlines and reminding him to work on them. He's a great technical writer, but writing about himself, as a person with autism, proved extremely difficult. I gave him ideas, but he rejected most of them and in the end, wrote some really nice essays. I gave him editing advice to smooth out some of the clunky phrasing, which he also rejected, but which prompted him to rewrite and improve them. All my suggestions basically served to pique him into doing better by himself. His first drafts were Kindergarten-level :-) [/quote]
