My kid is decent, is very smart and has a clean room, enjoys gaming and does a lot of research on the PC and also builds computers. and runs a YouTube channel that makes around 50$ a month from adrevenue, He gets very bad grades, does not usually try and says its boring, he is smart and knows a lot but you still need a high school education.

That's true, and males sleep longer on average than females. Had they not said anything about antidepressant use, being tired all the time, getting bad grades, and self-medicating with Modafinil, then I probably would not have said anything. But getting 8-10 hours of sleep, and still being tired and unmotivated all the time, can be a sign of depression. I suppose it is more about being tired/unmotivated, in spite of sleeping, that is the issue.
