[quote=Anonymous]You need to accept the fact that he is not the go getter you want him to be. I have a child who is very similar to yours. Part of the problem was that he didn't see the value in any of those things as long as it was coming from me in the form of a parental nag. So I stopped for the most part (other than failing grades) and let him be disheveled and stinky. You also have to know that 95% of this is not because he is lazy. He is dealing with a log with his disability and trying to keep up with kids who don't have the same challenges. Kids like ours also take longer to mature. Stop mourning the kid you wish you had and parent the one you have. I'm not trying to be mean, it's what I had to tell myself too.[/quote]
