[QUOTE="tbod, post: 687555, member: 20297"] I've thought about that as well. The psychologist stated that he's not in touch at a deep enough level to be able to tie together the potential effects of what his actions could cause to be able to adjust himself in time to avoid those actions....to be able to learn from them. Nor, does he connect his past incidents and effects of those incidents to things he's doing now to be able to apply and learn from them. He basically seems to live in the absolute present (whats right in front of his face). in essence, his whole ability to tie together and associate things from the past to apply them to future potential issues is pretty much compromised. It does explain a lot. And will mean that he will take a long time to learn from some potentially painful mistakes in his future. My son told me in the car on the way home from school that day that he was nearly expelled that he really want to punch that kid and thankfully a teacher disarmed the issue..and that all he could think about was swinging at the kid...and all over a facial expression that the kid made at my son. I mean he operates at such a tightly wound level ...with such a chip on his shoulder...that it seems like he's ready to go off much of the time. And with so much at stake (a pending trial date, on the school's last nerve) that you would think he would've thought twice...but no...its like there is nothing connecting his decision to act to anything else that would convince him that the risk isn't worth it.
