[quote=Anonymous]My DS (who will be 14 in a month) was like this up until the end of last year. He just didn't care about grades or handing in work etc... He has ADHD, Anxiety, a host of language based learning issues and executive function issues. He does speech therapy and has a tutor for math. It took a change in meds (and most likely added maturity) and he now cares about grades and is motivated to do his work (on his own instead of begging me to sit with him unless he REALLY needs it). I honestly didn't think it would ever happen, and then it did. But, like I said, we changed his meds and then added a social skills class to the mix. Not saying this is exactly what you need to do OP. This has just been my personal experience (and we are coming out the other end right now, so it's pretty fresh to me still).[/quote]
