My son is 14 and was diagnosed with N this past summer, although he has had symptoms since fifth grade. I was also disappointed that YAWN is defunct (I believe due to lack of funds) for his sake. However, I don't expect that he actually wants to spend much time discussing N, he's content trying to live around it right now. Personally, I have a lot of concerns about his grades, which still suffer in certain classes despite accomodations (and despite the fact that he is quite bright). I'd be interested in hearing how you deal with school, if you'd be willing to share.
