[QUOTE="renovation, post: 218901, member: 6438"] I'm not sure if I belong here. My 6 year old son doesn't seem to have ADHD, and I'm sure he's not on the autism spectrum, but he's a very difficult behavior challenge. I love him so much, but he seems to lack a moral compass - he knows right from wrong, but he doesn't seem to care at all. He's cute and social, and very bright, but I'm afraid he's going to be a sociopath, and I'm not saying this lightly. At school, he does fine academically, but his behavior is just awful. His teacher sent me an e-mail this morning saying that she caught him in two lies and it was only 10:00 a.m. I don't think it's ADHD because he's sort of the opposite - very in control and controlling, sneaky when it suits him, and manipulative. I don't think it's autism because he's appropriate socially to his peers and has a lot of friends - he's one of the popular kids (the obnoxious, smart popular kids). I don't know what to do - should I take him in for psychiatric testing? Should I get a different discipline book? I've read them all... [/QUOTE]
