Good morning! My son kept changing his mind on his mind about his major. It's very difficult for him to make decisions, so we pushed him into getting a general business degree.

He is very intelligent and had a 4.4 GPA in high school taking many AP classes. When he went away to school, he dropped to a C average, was staying up all night, missing classes and assignments. Even after having serious conversations with him between semesters, he was still having issues, so we brought him home. We do give him freedom but keep an eye on him to make sure he stays on track.

I think online classes work for him because he doesn't crave the social aspect of a classroom and he can be very disciplined to get work done (knowing we're here keeping an eye out). The classes are quick (5 weeks), so they have to stay on top of them.

It is a very difficult concept to push your young adult into things as you have to parent children with Autism completely differently. Their thought processes and views of the world are completely different and I always try to be mindful of that.

I hope your son is feeling better and no, teenage boys definitely aren't interested in more work!!

I hope this helps!!
