My son is not "lost" to be found, but his attention is lost most of the time. I ask him to do something , he may come 15 minutes later to ak me what it was that I have asked him to do ! He is 14 and it is sad that his mother is depepnding more and more on his 10 year old brother and too frustrated to ask him to do anything.

When he was 2 years old, he knew almost ALL flags and countries of the world. That is an examnple of what his brain was capable of. Today he is very bright at school with several awards and medals received for distinguished achievements in math , physics ..etc. but he stilllacks basic social skills.

I am bringing up this subject after I read Martin "go ballistic" post on the missing scout thread. For years I have been thinking my som has ADHD but have always hesitated to consult doctors or go on drugs. I dont trust doctors anmd hospitals much since the bith of his oldest sister, when his mom hads to go through unecessary surgey.

His mother is sometimes embarrased when relatives visit us and he would not even say Hello. That kind of thing. It is isnt that he is rude but he needs to be calmly taught a few times that this is the proper thing to do. Then he would do it.

Martin and others.
My son is a genious but lost soemwehre else. He knows Math and physics, but needs to learn to say "Hello" and "How are you" . He is good and kind, but generally childish in his behaviour. Can you give me a few websites with guides or general info how to teach him life skills.

No drugs or doctors please.
I dont trust them.
