[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this happened to you, but were there behavior problems?  That's the only thing that explains it. The adults and maybe even the other kids were just done and lied to make sure you didn't cross over with them? Learning disabilities really don't matter in scouts. [/quote]

Learning disabilities do matter to some troops. Some troops are really big on having so many Eagle Scouts and kids like mine with ASD and ADD are not likely to make it to eagle. [/quote]
Why? My dyslexic son thrives in scouts and all the merit badges are well suited to a kid who isn't a standout in school. He'll Eagle at 16 or 17 and loves it[/quote]
NP here.  Because some kids with ASD or ADHD are so challenged for executive functioning that reaching Eagle rank by age 18 may not be realistic, no matter how much support the parents give at home.  It takes a lot of planning, communicating, and leadership to reach Eagle.  [/quote]

I guess you're right. DS's dyslexia doesn't involve executive function. Hadn't considered that[/quote]
