[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a business major.  It is the closest fit to things he might be interested in.  But so far nothing really interests him so I think he needs his head in a place to find his interests before he moves majors.

I can’t be his EF coach because he is in college. I got him a tutor and he is using his therapist to help him find apps, etc.  But getting him to sign on to things is difficult because pushing too much hurts his self esteem.  And why did it take this long?  He hides things well and if you press him, he would clam up.  He had straight As, a job, friends.  When I saw it going off the rails, I forced a therapist on him and he just BSed the guy into thinking everything was fine and he didn’t need anyone.

I am going to try to get his dx and work to get him tested.  I am not worried about internships now.  I would like him to have a job this summer to have structure, because without it, he wants to escape and ends up on video games all day.[/quote]

You are on the right track.

You sound like a good parent. Stixrud Group (in Silver Spring ) does a good job either with testing. But you have to sign up way in advance. And it is not cheap. [/quote]
