[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And here's yet another vote for a neuropsych test.  Your son is already 12. [b] By that time our son had been tested at least 3 times (once every three years) and the diagnoses kept changing.  Sometimes it was ADHD, sometimes exec. functioning problems, sometimes depression, sometimes anxiety. [/b] Your son could even have simple eye problems that make it difficult for him to read.  You really owe this to him to get a thorough NT workup done on him.  There are many many reasons for this kind of behavior that could be neurological and not simple laziness which is what I am reading into your post.  Please do that before you try military schools.  You may get an eye-opening (pun) result.  If you don't, then yes consider boarding schools.  I was most impressed with Fork Union Military School when we toured.[/quote]

Wouldn't these changing diagnosis indicate that something is wrong with the way your kid was being diagnosed?  Or did you just accept that your kid had *all* of these issues?[/quote]
