Congratulations to you BOTH!
You for sacrificing your time to work directly with your son and finding a way to help him realize he can accomplish what he needs to, just through learning a way to compensate for his learning issues and celebrate his strong points. He needs to study a little about other persons with the same challenges, most of whom excell in the areas they are most interested in. He has excellent company - celebrate that difference.
Your son for his accomplishments - he is the one who ultimately did the work and passed the test! Warning, this can be addictive.
Don't forget to investigage what he needs to know as prerequisites for getting into the college he is interested in for pharmacology. Many of these items are available to test out of as AP exams, and yes he can do this and he can get a double wammy out of them as high school credits AND college credits.
The journey has just begun but this can be a way where your son may excell and achieve his dreams more quickly than through normal pathways.
