Parents of engineering freshman....

SO different this time(compared to my senior English major)...any advice? Yes, I know details would help, but I was hoping to make it general and supportive. Some limited details: my son got into his reach, tested into pre calc, passed all first semester classes, but with what he feels was a ton of work, and finished with a 2.something GPA. Four hours ago he was beside himself and wanting to quit. ( Now he is out with friends.) He is registered for 18 hours next semester, and will have to attend summer school to catch up in math. He was a less than 3.0 student until junior year, then 4.0 thereafter. A reach by GPA standards, but near the top overall ( not for engineering) with regards to SAT. Motivated mostly by sports. Yes, ADHD, with hyperactivity and impulsivity overshadowing any hint of inattention, but diagnosed and treated since age 5. He LOVES the school in general, and so do we, and was original admitted in a very different major.
