[quote=Anonymous]My nephew - only child - would be considered a dud.  Very painful to see - kid got 800s on two sections of the SATs back in the day when there were 3 sections.  Failed out of college first year, failed out of community college afterwards, has been through many food service jobs but always ends up leaving them in dramatic fashion and then becomes depressed and moves back home to regroup - sometimes not working for months at a time between episodes.  He's early 30s now.  Has been in therapy for years and still not sure what the problem really is - ADHD?  Depression? Anxiety?  Probably a combination of the three but years of therapy have not helped him to move forward.  My sister and husband would love to move somewhere warmer and retire but are too afraid to leave him.  He has few friends and can't afford to support himself.  I hate to call him a dud - he's a really nice kid.  His dad is a PHD, he went to the best private schools growing up.  He has been evaluated many times and is not on the specturm.  I know other boys in this sort of aimless pattern - it's troubling that there are so many.    [/quote]
