[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 156821, member: 3388"] I agree with the others that you did the right thing by notifying the police. My oldest, difficult child 1 is 17. He is an Aspie and is bipolar also. We've had an extremely difficult time with him. The bottom line is that he absolutely REFUSED to do anything he didn't want to do. He ran away in October and was caught by local police. We tried to get him admitted to a psychiatric hospital but weren't successful this last time. Anyway, his psychiatrist who had wanted to add an antipsychotic (can't spell!!!) to the Trileptal he was already taking, finally did. If the Abilify hadn't been added, I seriously don't know how I would have survived with him in the house any longer. difficult child 1 has been taking a combo of Trileptal and Abilify for about 8 months. For now, this cocktail of drugs seems to help. Although he is still EXTREMELY stubborn, he will do things we ask him to. Of course, he still puts up a fight most of the time, but this is a major improvement!!! I know that more drugs isn't always the answer. However, has your son had his medications adjusted lately? Just a thought... The other thing that has helped us is using the one thing difficult child 1 cares about more than anything else in this world, his computer, to get him to do things he either needs to do or to stop doing things he shouldn't do. He knows that we have control over his computer as long as he is living under our roof. It doesn't hurt that we are the ones who bought it for him too. Is there something that your difficult child cares about very deeply??? Maybe you could use this to your advantage. Anyway, I'm glad your difficult child is safe!!! It is a horrible feeling when you don't know where your kids are and whether or not they're ok. I hope today is a better day for you!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
