I really needed someone to reply to my post! thanks that was very encouraging!! Just this past week my son has actually let his guard down, and is giving the HS idea a try! This is major progress! He is also telling me about how teachers in the past have made him feel bad about himself. I already feel like we are connecting, and together we will be able to HS! He has really been reaching out and showing affection, by just coming up and giving me a hug for no reason.
I had told him that he would be able to go to PS to do UA classes, (he really was upset about not seeing his friends so I thought he could go and do the UA) and he told me this week that he would do HS, but doesn't want to go to PS to do UA classes. More progress!
Thanks again for the response it's helpful

By the way, there are some specific homeschooling ADHDkids e-mail lists on the net.

I just want to add a confirmation about how good that 1st reply was -- I regret not "deschooling" my older child more. I was so worried about performance, since their dad (my ex-husband) was not into homeschooling, that I had my then 5th grader start "work" earlier than I should have.
She wouldn't have lost any ground if she took six months off to read and ride horses. She learns best though play anyway.
