@rachelcolquhoun Thanks for the encouragement. I am considering the option that he might not graduate (though I'm not telling him that), but I did try to switch his education plan after writing this post. I wanted to drop him from freshman orientation class (AKA "busywork" class), gym, and maybe...

@hef I’m not exactly sure what you’re implying. I’m not asking for straight As. I want him to simply turn in assignments. If he doesn’t get the best of grades, so be it. At least he’s turning them in. I don’t have a ton of support about what to do to get him to pass from his school, his bio dad...

@arthur57 He is. I finally got support from bio dad for him to take it, even though he’s been diagnosed for 4 years now. I do however think he needs a stronger dose, which of course his dad is against, so now I’m working on getting him to agree to the stronger dose. Right now he’s 170# and on...

My son (15) is failing 4 out of 7 of his freshman year classes. One of those classes is a study hall and all he has to do to get 100% is show up. The other two classes are band and gym, and he has a B and a C respectively in those classes. The other 4 classes, he has a 17%, 37%, 47%, and 53%...
