My held back audHD son is bored, but then again he’s also above average in english subjects than the grade he was supposed to have been in, so either way he’d be just as bored.

My 2E son has an IQ that I am not saying on here but the boredom isn't a factor. He will be bored his whole school career. It is about being the kid who already has has hard time socially feeling self conscious that he is the only kid in his class wearing a white shirt, tefillin, has to daven 3x a day. There is a feeling of obligation that comes with being bar mitzvah and when everyone else is so far from it it can feel strange for a kid.
You just have to know your own kid. Maybe repeating is the best choice for him. This is purely food for thought to make a more informed decision. My son has a grade-mate who repeated pre1a and had a 6th grade bar mitzvah he is a foot taller then them and his much more physically mature. but he seems to do just fine. I think mine would have found that challenging. Every kid will be different.

In my son’s school, they start davening with a minyan in 6th grade and they all have to wear white shirts by then too. You’re right, depends on how your kid takes it. My son is the type who would love it and think he’s so cool being the first one with a hat and tefillin.
