[quote=Anonymous][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] Agree with all the above. (Signed, Mom with DD teen with adhd). [/quote] Yup. Mine is now a senior in college and all of this is now better but by no means totally gone. Perhaps our biggest challenge was December- end of the semester when everything is due and DD would procrastinate herself into a state of high anxiety. The longer she put school work off, the more it built up, the more it built up, the more she just didn’t even know how to start digging out of the hole, leading to total breakdown. We were lucky that the school worked with us. Otherwise, she may have never graduated from hs.[/quote]
