[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 426778, member: 1233"] Your daughter is wrong. So many things that you have posted make it clear that he is aspie and not aspd. ASPD is not diagnosis'd until after age 18 because some of the symptoms/signs are things that can also be pretty much typical teen, or so several psychiatrists and tdocs have told me. When Wiz was 12 I was told that he would have the ASPD diagnosis by his 20th birthday. At the time he showed NO remorse or regret for all the torture he inflicted on Jessica (real torture - if he had been an adult he would have gotten a LONG prison sentence for this, possibly even life in prison!). He just was NOT able to be diagnosis'd because they were not sure he would be doing the same things at age 18 and older. I did not think I could handle knowing my adult son was a predator doing all manner of awful things to a woman as often as he wanted to. I am glad I did NOT do anything rash because this groupo f dire, awful predictions about his future were/are ALL WRONG. But this was told to me from professionals who had years of experience - NOT some college kid who isn't even able to practice. Whomever said that people who are studying go through this is totally correct. My profs called it "medication school syndrome" - where you think you or someone you know has whatever it is you are learning about. Some of the students in my class were truly hilarious with this. From one week to the next they had the most extreme diagnosis for themselves and their family and friends. It is a very normal thing to go through, but it does NOT mean your mother needs to take you to your bro's doctor to discuss it. the more you feed into this the longer it will last. Explain to her that you appreciate the concern, but this is something his doctor is taking care of. He has the best professionals that you can find and they are confident that he does not have ASPD. Then again, if she works herself up into a real tizzy you may want to take her to the therapist - to discuss why she is so certain that the docs are wrong. From all of the things you have posted about difficult child in the past, he reads as ASPIE or at least strong aspie traits. There is very little that says ASPD - esp because there are no police reports, skipped school, etc..... (((((hugs))))) It is never easy when the armchair tdocs, aka our family/friends who have read an article/seen a movie/talked with a friend/whatever, decide our difficult children ahve problems because X or Y and that we should be doing A, B and C instead of what we are doing. I do tihnk easy child is likely highly worried if she thinks you are home alone or sleeping with a person with ASPD in the home. [/QUOTE]
