<p>The thread is long, but see the thread below that was posted here a few weeks ago. The OPs son stays up into the wee hours of the morning on the internet, then sleeps through classes. He doesn’t go to exams, doesn’t take his mediciation, and generally doesn’t take care of himself. </p>

<p>I’m not as callous and cold as you all think I am. I will say, though, that my experience as an undergraduate is over fifty percent of my classmates were weeded out for various reasons. Some couldn’t handle the material, some didn’t have the right study habits, some preferred to party, some just didn’t enjoy college. I am leery about people who hide behind a label to justify poor performance in school. Half of my classmates couldn’t make it due to poor academic performance and most of those exhibited the symptoms that people have described those afflicted with Aspergers. And I am pretty sure that half of my classmates don’t have Aspergers - it was simply a hard program that required self discipline and focus.</p>
