[quote=Anonymous]The ADHD and learning disabilities probably cause all the other stuff, right? I have dyslexia and my son has dyselxia and characteristics of ADHD. He is a young teen now and managing, but I can imagine him having challenges like your son in time. It is so hard and frustrating and discouraging that the primary source of worth for most young people - school - is hard and sometimes impossible for our kids. So they give up, don't care, don't engage. That is easier than banging their heads against the wall every day and being called lazy, distracted, stupid...even if no one uses those words, that is what those of us with learning disabilities hear. That is what we feel. It can be easier to just say fine, if that is what the world thinks of me I might as well BE that.

I agree with others that you might want to check in on med adjustments. But beyond that...just love your son. Who ever he is, make sure he feels every day how much you love him just as he is, and you believe he is a good and worthy human being. Just as he is. That you have faith he'll have a great life. The truth is in all likelihood he WILL have a great life. He is just having a hard time right now. Love him through it, for all those things you listed above that make him wonderful. That was some list, OP, with some of the best qualities a human can have. He may be a pain in the a$$ right now, but that isn't who he is - that is just what he is going through. You both are doing fine.[/quote]
