[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Difficulty with having friends due to social skills and maturity gap. May mature slower (not that that's a bad thing) and gravitate to younger kids. Executive functioning will be a challenge as academics increase and logistical complexity increases.[/quote] Assuming it’s not very severe, I wouldn’t expect lots of social struggles. Our DD is in the mix and always has been. Would say the same thing for executive function. Yes, it’s challenging as academics increase, but I’m surprised by how many kids seem to struggle with this…I wouldn’t expect an impact on grades if not very severe and medicated. I think the biggest thing to teach in addition to organization habits is planning in advance, study strategies, and not taking on too many activities. [/quote]
