[quote=Anonymous]OP that sounds really hard. I have a 2E kid but she is motivated enough and doesn’t struggle with handing things in. Some thoughts:
1) I’m surprised that your son has so much physical, paper work. My kid turns most assignments in online. Can you amend the IEP/504 so kid can submit work online? For example, take a pic of the assignment and email the teacher? DS should at least get in the habit of scanning or taking a pic of work after he finishes to prevent loss (he can always reprint).
2) Remember he isn’t really 15 years old. ADHD kids can be up to 3 years delayed maturity-wise. He may have the executive functioning of a 12 year old. Plus, boys do something go through a dirty phase (hygiene wise). 
3) I know it’s hard, but at the end of the day, you have a lot to be thankful for. Just google the Kids with SN forum for some perspective. Some ADHD or AuADH are struggling with school refusal, bullying, mental health challenges and more. Your kid is getting Bs and is functional.

Good luck. Most BTDT moms will tell you that these early teen years are challenging and 18/19 years old is a real turning point. That has been our experience.
