My 10-year-old loves Minecraft and Terraria. Do you play any video games? Which ones do you like?

The Princess Bride!

Any other answer is... inconceivable

The lack of continuity and consequences really started to bother me in TNG (especially after I started watching DS9 with its actual story arcs). Like with "Genesis" -- the entire crew turns into animals and/or cavemen, it's heavily implied that Worf literally mauls another crewman to death, and the entire thing wraps up with "Huh, that was weird. Oh well, let's go get drinks at Ten Forward." Don't get me wrong, I'll take any episode that features my boy Reg Barclay, but the happy-go-lucky episodic model seemed particularly egregious in this case.

The Chrysalids https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chrysalids

~~The Giver https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giver~~ I missed that one in your list, whoops!

I read both of these in school around that age; they may be good options for you.

I remember when our family would go bowling, my parents made us all change our clothes as soon as we got home because of the cigarette reek. I'm so glad those days are gone.

In the United States, an executive order is a directive by the president of the United States that manages operations of the federal government. [...] Like both legislative statutes and the regulations promulgated by government agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if the orders lack support by statute or the Constitution. Some policy initiatives require approval by the legislative branch, but executive orders have significant influence over the internal affairs of government, deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging wars, and in general fine-tuning policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes. As the head of state and head of government of the United States, as well as commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, only the president of the United States can issue an executive order.

One of the problems that ADHDers have is they think the meds solve everything, but it only works when you have the added coping mechanisms.

Conversely, some people are only able to get to a state where they can develop those strategies after they've been able to access medication.
