[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 152879, member: 1550"] I personally would have been alarmed and have taken him to ER as soon as he said "commit suicide." The disciplining, in my opinion, is secondary...he is very ill in thought and behavior. Bio. mom may not be helping, but it is likely he inherited stuff from her--I don't think it's just situational here. I personally think ADHD is a big understatement and his medications could be making him worse. One big difference I read between ADHD and bipolar is that ADHD has a low suicide rate. Bipolar has a high one. I also would wonder about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) regardless of this neuropsychologist "ruling it out." There is no way to rule it out. Another neuropsychologist may diagnose it. He has many red flags for autistic spectrum disorder. I would recommend hospitalization if he says that again--I have bipolar and take suicide threats seriously. My daughter put her hand through a window once as a desperate cry for help. He is way out of control and needs you to help him. He apparently can not do it himself. good luck. [/QUOTE]
