[quote=Anonymous]Yes OP.  Do you live in the DC area?  There are many places you can set up a psychoeducational evaluation.  They will test for learning disabilities, attentional issues, processing speed issues, etc.  Many of the most successful people in business, science, the arts, etc., have been successful despite similar challenges and often because of the gifts that often come associated with such challenges.  She may feel misunderstood by both of her parents and hence blowing off the traditional school path.  An eval will help all of you to understand her and support her.  Sounds like an awesome kid!  Go on the Special Needs forum on DCUM and ask for recs for places to get evals for older kids.  Stixrud comes to mind.  Also Blackwell and Weinfeld group.  YOu need to invest some money now to give your DD the foundation she deserves.  Even if she ends up going to community college, she should get support to tap into supports offered there to be the best that she can be.  Good luck.  [/quote]
