@homeschooler14: All of the behavior you described is not normal and needs to be addressed…The truth is that ADHD is all or mostly made up…

Three main systems caused this unnecessary stage in our life, Child Labor laws, Compulsory Education, and the Juvenile justice system. All 3 are broken systems that have ruined the child-adult continuum.

I don’t think the OP needs a medical evaluation of her son via the Internet, especially not by a 15-year-old who desperately wants colleges to view them as equivalent in every way to 18-year-old college freshmen. You have a vested interest in making people believe there’s no difference between the brain of a child and that of a fully functioning adult. It’s not us you need to convince. It’s all the college adcoms who you have to persuade that your rationale for rushing through 3 years of high school material in 9 months was a mature decision.

While you wait for your decisions you may want to read up on child labor laws. There are reasons we no longer allow 10-year-olds to toil for 12 hours a day in a factory. Not that it would affect you either way since you come from a wealthy family, but it wouldn’t hurt you to try to understand the reasons behind the laws.
