[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the advice.
Some more background on our situation.

DS had a neuropsych eval completed two years ago which resulted in the ADHD diagnosis. He is currently taken medication. No other LD's diagnosed.

He was an A/B student in middle school.

He is currently seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. No depression diagnosis.

Not young for his grade, actually one of the older kids.

He is obsessed with being on his phone and the internet. We have monitored and restricted when possible but when we completely take away he becomes a whole new angry and miserable person to be around.

He has adjusted fine socially and has many friends. He also plays a sport at school and for a club team.

Everyone we speak with are at a loss to explain the complete lack of motivation to do the work and do well other than he has poor study habits. All his friends do well in school so it is not like he has surrounded himself with equally unmotivated students.

Also, he refuses to accept any help from us in assisting with homework or reviewing projects/essays before being submitted. We are just trying to help get him on the right path but he wants none of it.[/quote]
