<p>OP, do you have to help him organize and meet deadlines for his schoolwork? If so, you are acting as his executive function coach and you will likely need to hire an executive function coach for him if he is to be successful in college. If you have a feeling in your gut that he’s not ready to go away, listen to it. He only has that good HS transcript and good test scores once. Be careful.</p>
<p>One more thing: If he is on ADD meds, are you working with the medicated version of him or the non-medicated version? My son would work on colllege stuff after homework, meaning the meds had worn off, meaning he was The Most Distractible Person on the Planet.</p>
