[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have it lucky. DS has both ADHD and Asbergers. DW has ADHD,too. DS is on focalin and DW is on ritalin. DS has social problems. When he arrives a t school all the other kids yell "hi" to him and he ignores them. When I tell him to respond, he says "I don't want to." He is uncooperative with his teachers. He's very smart and is a national chess champion. But needs special help at school on socializing. He's the first member of my family to ever attend a public school, which I' m not thrilled about, but there seems no alternative right now. As far as boarding school goes, I'm still hopeful he can do that, just like his forebears did. His chess ability could get him into a good one. But only if he grows out of needing special help. In my experience, kids with those kinds of alumni connections have a much easier time. It may not be fair, but it's the way it is. [/quote]
