My son has always lost things. It seems to have gotten worse during his teen years. He has also never been very good at being prepared - remembering those essential bits of information that are necessary to make it through live. Bicycles, keys, cameras, phones, school books, and numerous other items have just been left somewhere and forgotten. Homework is either left at school or left at home in the morning. He has never been hyperactive - just the opposite. He is more like a sloth than a ping pong ball. He makes friends easy and has several. Recently, he received his drivers license. During the first two months, he caused two accidents. Luckily no injuries were involved. Both accidents resulted from distractions in attention. Not the normal type of distraction but just losing attention on the driving process. Just prior to the last accident, he checked for traffic before backing up but then decided to adjust the radio right afterward. In his mind, he had already checked for traffic- even though it was probably 20 seconds earlier - so h knew it was OK to proceed.

As a result of these, my son has lost a promising job in a field that interests him and is currently not driving. Any help or insight that can be provided is very appreciated.
