[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgot processing speed….that is incredibly fast. His working memory topped out the tests and his processing speed wasn’t far behind. His ADHD brother basically did the opposite of him on all these metrics. That brother is younger and more socially aware and not interested in TJ despite having a better work ethic. He has had to work harder since his memory and processing are weak so he developed those skills. My older son just naturally does well so he has never learned how to work. As someone who never finished my PhD because I never learned how to work, I see benefit from making him learn that lesson before he is in his mid 20s but as the parent who will need to enforce this, I would rather let him glide along as it is easier for me. Twice exceptionality is not fun and I am jealous of those kids that have to work hard and learn to do it early. [/quote]

I am intrigued by your comment that you "never learned how to work."  I have heard a couple folks say this about themselves or others, and I am really curious what it means.  Could you elaborate?[/quote]
