[quote=Anonymous]No real advice as we are not doing well on this front either.  Lots of sympathy though.

Ours refuses any mental health help apart from from the psychiatrist he has seen for years who prescribes his Adderall.  Which he often does not bother taking.  He is now at home doing community college but still continuing to fail at least a class every semester.  He has completely switched types of classes which doing all sorts of STEM courses that he doesn't seem particularly well suited to.  He spends a lot of time on the computer and I've had to block him from using during certain hours or he'd be up all night doing nothing but watching Youtube, which I also have had to block.

Really, really have no idea what will become of him.  He has gained a lot of weight and we haven't been successful in getting him to work out or rethink his eating choices.  He doesn't heed deadlines for signing up and everything is a last minute scramble.  He won't acknowledge when he is in trouble in a class and, thus, does not withdraw in time. Have brought up the possibility of a trade and he is seeming less resistant than in the past.  I am a firm believer that things have a way of working out, but my faith is beginning to falter....[/quote]
