[quote=Anonymous]I totally get it. And can tell you it only gets worse (at least for ADHD and spectrum issues) in college. We have come to terms that there are just some things that DS cannot do - like write a college paper. The personal problem that DW and I find ourselves saying - dealing with a 20 year old (and now obviously aspergers if you were to meet - wasn't so even just a few years ago - so I don't worry about what other moms or dads migiht say) is WHEN to play tough parent, as in "you have GOT to pull yourself together, get out of bed, make a plan and get to class or we aren't paying for this anymore" and when to realize that DS is just crippled and cannot do the things we hoped he could do, so to take the tough love approach is cruel. I don't have the answer yet. But I can tell you that tough love doesn't work with some SN kids.[/quote]
