One of my sons had that profile and is diagnosed with ADHD. He wrote about it in the context of his summer job on a farm. Because we didn’t know how he would do with admissions he applied to 4 reach, 2 match and 4 safety schools. I would advise this approach, as it’s harder to predict with these kids.

He ended up getting in everywhere but 2 of the reaches. He’s thriving in college, probably because there are fewer small assignments, which he had a harder time managing in high school. I wish the same outcome for your son.
