[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, everyone.  I really appreciate the kindness shown.  I do have to remind myself that it is a disability because it's not a "visible" disability like some others.  My child's standardized tests scores are all 98th percentile and higher, so he/she definitely has managed to learn something.  However, he/she has been receiving C's, D's and F's even in classes upon which the standardized tests are based (English, Math, etc.).  And in the subject that he/she supposedly loves and wants to pursue in college.  He/she has had to drop almost all extracurricular activities and spends almost all his/her time doing homework ([b]alhtough I suspect there is some computer surfing going on[/b]).  Most significantly, he/she is unhappy -- very unhappy, in fact.  It is a sad lifestyle for him/her, but it just takes him/her so much longer to do the homework.  My heart aches for everyone who's posted and I greatly admire those of you who are able to see the silver lining.  Maybe things will work out in the end, but it sure is a bumpy road.[/quote]

Move homework to the kitchen table, or one nearby, so you can keep her on task.  Set a timer for each set of homework.  [/quote]
