[quote=Anonymous]OP- I struggled initially in college (suspect stealth ADD, my DS has ADHD). The key was a) choosing a college close to home so that I could be home on the weekends. ADD isn't just an issue with academic achievement-- I notice with my DS that it's "load" in general- social, organizational, emotional, etc. Being able to decompress on the weekends if I needed (home cooking, just focusing on studying and sleeping) made it manageable. b) I would consider an executive functioning coach for your DS--now and while he's in college. A coach can help him organize, plan, prioritize, etc. I think that can be one of the biggest challenges with a drastically increased workload and expectation. [/quote]
