Two more days of school but summer’s here | ADHD Information

ds will be leaving on saturday to attend a high school program at a northeastern college (we live in the northwest)

in addition to taking some classes it is to see how he does living away from home since he wants to go away to college in another year.  Kind of like practice in a college environment.  I am hoping he will figure out  how to manage his meds better and get out of bed in the morning.  Last summer he successfully did something like this for a week.  It should be a good exercise in responsibility and life skills.

he is looking forward to taking a music composition and performance class, soccer and we encouraged a structured writing course taught by an instructor of Landmark College (for adders and LDers)

Tangent:
he is slowly getting ready to pack, but seems to be avoiding the organization and drudgery of it for the most part.

When I got home after work today the boys were already enjoying their school-free afternoon having forgotten mom's suggestion to start getting things ready to pack.

the youngest had ridden his bike into town with friends and then stopped by the lake for a swim, without my permission or leaving a note with a contact number...
instead of packing ds had forgotton to take Ritalin (probably playing on the computer for hours ) and as i tried to problem solve with him,  he was laying on the floor messing around  with an upside down office chair on him spinning the wheel assembly around.  It was impossible to carry on a conversation with him until the meds kicked in.
