[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD teen also likes "magical thinking." I once heard on a ADDtitude podcast that ADHD affects your ability to visualize the future. My kid definitely lacks the ability to see how such a tough schedule will turn out, even if he has been through it previously. One of the reasons he always wants to take honors and AP classes is to get the extra GPA boost those classes give (thinking that somehow, THIS time, I will get an A and it will count as a 4.5...) even though he and I both know that getting an A or B in an on-level course is a better choice for him than getting a C in an honors class. We have only allowed higher level options occasionally, but only in the subject of most interest (so, science in our case).[/quote]
