[quote=Anonymous]I know people rush to recommend privates, but take your time to consider all the facts of that decision... mainly from a financial point of view. You may technically afford it, but it might not be the right choice anyway. The best gifts you can give your children is continued financial support throughout their lives, especially if they have special needs. That's not happening if you're spending most of what you earn, without investing enough of it to grow in the stock market. There's also college to consider, especially for gifted kids. In-state costs run 30-40K a year, out-of-state or private 50-100K a year. If your kid is young, God knows how much it will be when he's 17. You should put your best effort into getting him the best supports in public school, making sure he's adequately medicated for his ADHD, and is being gradually taught ways to organize himself (it's going to take many years).
