As kayley said, the NeuroPsych Assessment proposed by the NeuroPsychologist will help pinpoint his dysfunctions. Your son may be hiding more of his symptoms from you. Five concussions in such a short time period can be quite devastating. The NPA will pinpoint the exact dysfunctions so that he can get specific help with those symptoms.

I suggest taking a more realistic approach to his condition. You said <We know eventually he'll get better with lots of rest..> His recovery will likely need serious work on his part. If he has any prolonged cognitive dysfunctions, he will need to learn how to move forward. He may need academic help, i.e. additional time when taking a test, new study skills, assistance with note taking, etc.

There is a saying, Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Being ready to support him if he struggles to continue with his academic pursuits will be important.

I hope his NPA shows minimal dysfunctions. Cognitive and memory dysfunctions can take a lot of work to learn living skills.

My best to you both.
