[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts. My son has ADHD and anxiety, and is a year older (a junior). He also refused to meaningfully participate in any therapy, so I stopped sending him (which he agreed with), because it was a waste of everyone's time, money, and effort. He is willing to see a psychiatrist 4xs per year for ADHD meds, so that is good at least. It is also normal for kids to quit activities they formally liked (my son quit travel soccer and band) as their personalities changed, but not being involved in anything at all is a non-starter, because this is how kids with disabilities manage to make and keep social connections. My son got involved in a technology and computer science club at school, and picked up a volunteer activity. Is there something else your son would we willing to try?[/quote] Op here. I think our sons are twins! I am going to try to get him involved with something. Anything! It’s been a struggle. How did you convince your DS? [/quote]
