But in the summer before 8th grade he became ill (still not sure what kind of mental illness) and couldn't do his school work. He may have asperger syndrome and be suffering from anxiety or he may have a psychotic disorder.

Thank you all for sharing your most helpful accommodations.

You're welcome [emoji2] .

I am not considered fully gifted, but at the time, I was struggling with English since grade 2-3 (C levels) and I started writing in grade 6-7 and now I am better than most of my class. I probably would be gifted now. Doesn't matter because I have an IEP under the behaviour category (Canada).

I'm sorry something happened in the summer. Were symptoms of Aspergers noticed as a kid, but mild symptoms?

You're welcome. For me, my favourite ones are extra time and presentations not in front of the class. The presentations one is the best for me. That would be the one I would keep if I could only keep one.

Hope your son gets the accommodations he needs [emoji4].
