[quote=Anonymous]I have a 14-year-old DS with inattentive ADHD.  They lose things easily, although they are getting better at leaving equipment at practices because the coaches now make them pay.  School performance is inconsistent—98% on a standardized test in one subject and 50% on another.  I remain actively involved in monitoring their homework, though I want to let them learn from natural consequences, I also want them to move out and go to college someday! Team sports remain tough as they have a hard time with spatial awareness.  Their coaches have described them as aloof and disengaged during some practices and games.  Getting out the door in the morning is still very challenging. I think they'll be an okay driver, actually.  Weird connection, but they are very good at sailing, and I think there will be a correlation.  It's still tough to converse with them because they are usually talking about something else.  They have a couple of good friends who accept them as they are and seem to be well-liked by their classmates, and plenty of interest from girls because they are charismatic, cute, and fun in a way that makes people want to relax and have a good time.
