[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 447711, member: 3419"] Welcome, Linsey. I have to admit, I'm glad that others weighed in here b4 I did, because I immediately thought of my son. He is Aspie and has gone through a lot of stages, similar to your son. But, like many other things, we tend to label what we are familiar with, so I didn't think my response was more than knee-jerk. Now that your paragraphs and responses have been parsed, I'm chiming in to say, yes, get a better diagnosis, try some medications, get immediate intervention. I, too, spent a few days in tears, fearing that my son was schizophrenic. But you can't diagnosis in a bubble, from one or two incidents. It takes yrs for some dxes, expescially difficult dxes like schizophrenia. I would also emphasize continuing to help him cope with-demands from other people by creating workable systems, such as breaking tasks into smaller pieces, and learning to verbalize when he is stressed out. I am thinking that he is retreating into a fantasy world in part, because it's easier than fulfillilng other people's demands, Know what I mean?? Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
