He is gifted in some areas, but seems almost disabled in others. He is completely lost and conflicted.

Sorry I am of no help except to let you know that there are others who are in the same boat.

I'm very sorry for what your son (and you, also) is going through.

While I certainly don't know the details of your situation, I was miles ahead in writing and languages, but had trouble with the most simple math. --I'm a 35 year old Mensa member with a 5th grade math level. Of course, I've never had help with my problem.

I hope you're able to find the help your son needs, whatever it may be.

I wish you the best.
