[quote=Anonymous]My twice exceptional is doing okay but misses intellectual conversations. He is considering applying to one of the top tier in-state schools and transferring but would have to leave his sport which his ADHD brain needs. Your DD may be twice exceptional as well or lacking executive function skills (another classic ADHD trait). I would definitely get it figured out before college. These kids are often near brilliant or truly brilliant but need support/the right environment to thrive. |FWIW, I was your daughter, went to large state U, did exceptionally well because I was finally free to pick my own interests and went to a top tier grad school. This is a great path for "late-bloomers" who hated high school. I don't have ADHD (DH does) but I can hyper focus on topics of interest. I would have never forgotten an English test - that is classic ADHD/exec function issue).[/quote]
