I just want to point something out since it hasn't been said.
When it's so hot that your body is shutting down, you've already been well past the point of being able to think straight and make critical judgements.
Obesity aside, many people would fail to seek help not realizing they're in a life of death situation to begin with. You're so hot you must find yourself sitting or lying down unable to do jack shit. Need thing you know you're dying of heat stroke. And sadly, we're going to see this more and more as climate change kills more people.
They're actually smart about their locations. Almost always off a freeway. Say what you want about the food but when you're traveling and the alternatives are truck stops and gas stations, seeing that cracker barrel sign is a godsend!

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to design their webpages. I'm also a bit old fashioned. But I stopped making animated gimmicks many years ago.

I'm sure there are examples of where js is necessary. It certainly has it's place. I just feel like it's over used. Now if you're at the mercy of someone else that demands x y and z, then I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
Learn everything you can about ADHD. Figure out what traits be has doesn't have.
Most importantly, discuss these things with him! Don't let him grow up confused and having to figure all this out on his own. Don't assume the school(s) will explain anything.
I'm in the same boat. Being someone's entire universe is horrible. From now on I require a partner to be passionate about at least two hobbies and have some damn friends!
