[quote=Anonymous]New poster here. DS is NT or rather undiagnosed because the other parent won’t consent, but displays a lot of the same traits. Unwillingness to ask for help. EF problems. Being angry when told he needs to do this or that to be successful. 
I find it very helpful reading about these things. I was ready to back off because our relationship was suffering so much but he suddenly matured over the summer a bit. I’ve been consistently letting him sink in 1 less significant subject at a time. It doesn’t seem to teach him anything tbh. 
I still prop him but only so much as not to cause a rift in our relationship. I let go of the idea of him taking hard classes (though he insisted on one and has a B), it’s too stressful for me to make him to all the extensive work, and the teachers are expecting a lot of independence.

In your situation I would keep the coach but back off, let him fail an elective or something less significant and see how he reacts, and I would pay for a semester of college on condition of what one of the PPs suggested.

Also maybe he needs to swallow the bitter pill of him not being NT. Maybe it does make sense to give it to him straight that he won’t be able to function like a typical NT peer anytime soon.

I apologize if I overstepped as a mom of kid who is not diagnosed but feel free to disregard anything that you deem irrelevant or ignorant in my post. [/quote]
