I think that sleepwalking is considered a sleep disorder by itself. It can also be caused by a lack of sleep. I suspect the lack of dreams (or perceived lack of dreams) can too. But a lack of dreams can also be caused by actual disorders that interfere with the REM stage of sleep.

There is a thing called exploding head syndrome where you wake up to a loud noise that is in your head. That said, that you say you never dream coupled with finding yourself at the front door makes me think you might have a sleep disorder.

Advanced enough--analysis, abstract algebra, and the like. They also use them for calculus and linear algebra, but I have less of a quibble with that. Sometimes it's the only option.

My university likes to use undergraduate TAs to provide the actual instruction in advanced math courses (as opposed to video lectures that essentially are the instructor of record reading the textbook aloud). They get paid $10 per hour.

Could you get your evaluator to write a report specific for this purpose? That's what we did and it was only that report that we sent in.

Neurological exam? Though I suspect they won't need prompting for that one.

The vast majority of the time. It is highly unlikely that a random man who happens to be in the woods and comes across a random human female (it isn't clear to me how old this person is supposed to be) is going to do anything bad to her. Even if he has a history as a domestic violence perpetrator. Because the key word there is domestic.

I suspect you're wrong.

I have a grown HGish son with dyslexia, adhd, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia diagnoses. We applied for CB accommodations for him as a homeschooler back in 2012 (I believe it was). So this was before they changed things. We were told that it was going to be difficult to get accommodations as homeschoolers, and that we needed a paper trail that included showing a history of disability as well as accommodation, preferably in an official setting, such as a school. He was in fifth grade when he was diagnosed with dyslexia, and we used that to get him a 504 plan with the local district. We then had him take a standardized test each year using those 504 accommodations. About six months before we needed to apply for CB accommodations, we had him reevaluated by a team of doctors who specialized in dyslexia, giftedness, and had ample experience with the CB. One of the things the CB was looking for was evidence that the student actually needed extended time. This was done in several ways. The first was straight processing speed on the WISC. Apparently they were looking for a score below the 2nd percentile. They also wanted to see a discrepancy between achievement and fluency. So, for example, my son's WJ math problem solving score was at the 99+th percentile, while his math fluency was at the 5th percentile. Another thing they did was to give a reading comprehension test under both regular timing conditions and with extended time. Because he is gifted, they had to use a test that was hard enough so that there would be a discrepancy between the two. The test they used was the Nelson Denny, which contains college level material. He was at the 50th percentile timed and 97th percentile with extended time. It was also suggested to us not to have him take any CB tests without accommodations prior to asking for them because if the CB saw that he was able to score in the average range without accommodations, they would probably deny our request.

Is he being homeschooled? I mean, I realize this is a homeschooling board, but my response changes depending on the situation. If he is being homeschooled, presumably there is some flexibility to change what he is doing. Every time he complains, I'd ask him what his solution is and tell him if he doesn't have any suggestions that you don't want to hear his complaints. Also suggestions about not doing any schoolwork and the like don't count as suggestions. If he is not being homeschooled, I'd tell him that he is allowed to complain about a single thing each day for three minutes and after that...fill in the blank (you will walk away, he loses a privilege, whatever works in your family).

Just because you're not taking them every single day certainly does not mean that you're dealing them.

My son had similar issues at age 22, though in his case, he was getting a first time diagnosis. His therapist diagnosed him, but, obviously he needed a medical diagnosis as well. He asked his pediatrician who told him he wasn't allowed to prescribe ADHD meds. Then he waited for months to get in with a psychiatrist. When he finally did, he was given a whole battery of tests, one of which I know is to filter out people who are faking. Then he was prescribed Strattera, a non-stimulant even though that is considered a second line treatment. When he eventually established care in the state where he is now attending college, that psychiatrist expressed surprise that he wasn't offered a stimulant first. After developing some disturbing side effects with the Strattera a few months later, he was finally offered Adderall, and one thing it has done is allowed him to learn how to cope with life without any medication because unlike with Strattera, which needs to be taken daily, he can take the Adderall or not depending on what is going on that day. So, by prescribing Strattera, the first psychiatrist was actually tying him to medication rather than potentially freeing him from it. Anyway, I hope your son gets the care he needs without too much trouble.

Thinking of you all.

If he is getting all As, why not back off and let him manage his work the way he sees fit? Real natural consequences (those imposed by the world and not made up by Mom) are far better teachers than a parent could ever be.
