[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I really appreciate all the responses and your lived experiences. I managed to have a calm conversation with him yesterday. Basically, he wants to be neurotypical. He doesn’t want to have ASD or ADHD. In fact, when we went to tour some smaller engineering schools like RIT, he unironically made comments about the students being different or quirky. I resisted the urge to say that is what people may think about him but it’s true. I don’t know where to go with that for the long-term but we did talk about compromise on the scaffolding I put in place for him with professionals. Those were in place when we came up (with a parent coach) with our plan for the parents to scale back and not be involved at all with schoolwork such as checking Schoology or reminding him to turn in work or email teachers.  I would like to condition college on getting services and registering in the disability office but until he accepts he has challenges, I don’t know what good that would do.[/quote]
