Not to worry you, but procrastination and stalling are classic signs of ADHD. I did that as a teen overloaded with homework, DH still does it all the time for everything, and DS too. 
DD is the only who is NOT diagnosed and - surprise - blasts through her assignments!

I would learn about ADHD and observe your son carefully.[/quote]

It might not be adhd.....I have always been a massive procrastinator but not due to adhd, but something more fundamentally tough to change...motivation due to nihilistic tendancies/thoughts.

i.e. going through this with my niece who is living with us as she's thinking about law school but putting off lsat practice...'what's the point of studying, I can't get a 170+ anyways even if I tried as hard as I could and without that I can't get into a top law school, and without that there is no point in going....so why should I even try'?

I can see this reverse rationalization happen more and more in young adults, college, and younger students as opportunities get scarcer and there is more 'winner take all' or "yale-or-fail" economic forces encroaching into a wide variety of facets in life. [/quote]
