[quote=Anonymous]I can give you a success story, there is hope!  DS was in public in MS in all honors courses and grades were good but with a lot of hand holding from me and managing assignments and hw help.  It was nightly, he hated it.  He tried several meds in MS but never liked how they made him feel.

He dropped to all gen ed classes in 9th grade, his choice and became resistant to my assistance and grades tanked.  He also became resistant to a tutor and it was a rough year, both academically and with behavior.

We switched to private school and he continued with a gen ed classes, no honors, his choice, and in 10th was back to open to help with putting organization systems in place, like he managed it but we would check in on what was due when in each class.  Same for 11th but with much less support.

He managed senior year completely on his own.  He needed help with college apps but not with any course work.

He could have taken AP or dual enrollment classes and considered it but didn’t want to risk it after 9th, since things were going so well now.  [/quote]
