[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for all the suggestions.

I emailed his homeroom teacher ahead of PT conferences (next week), who said oh he's just all around great and all kids are learning how to get organized this year no worries... But I worry it's more like adhd. His dad has terrible executive functioning skills that causes big life problems for him but he absolutely won't admit it.He'll say "oh yeah I definitely had undiagnosed ADHD as a kid," or he'll talk about how he leaves things in odd places, BUT anytime I've tried to talk to him about how I think he could be helped tremendously by testing and a diagnosis and possibly medication, he's offended. He has much bigger problems than losing things, and I don't want that for my child (or his future partner and children 🌝)

DS has  coasted so far. good grades, no social issues, just lots of reminding about things at times. But I think I'm seeing more than just "a little disorganized" especially considering how upset he gets with himself. [/quote]
