[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 667127, member: 18958"] Suzir, I know how hard this is. I worry about the reality testing of my son, who takes very seriously bizarre conspiracy theories that even involve aliens mating with reptiles, a super secret society, "the illuminati", and culminating in a catastrophe (My only consolation is that he played with similar action figures as a child. Perhaps it is a hangover from that.) I think that it is encouraging that he did test his thinking with somebody else. And I think it is very encouraging that he was able to respond to and temper his words to correspond with the reaction of the listener. My son will not. He is adamant he is correct. He will not tolerate dissent. Suzir, is your son on medication? Is he in treatment? Does he have a diagnosis? Or if you do not want to put this on the internet, I understand. As I am understanding you your son seems calm and relaxed. While he may say extreme things, when pushed, he admits that he understands reality. He is doing what he has to do. He is functioning, it seems. Sleeping, getting where he has to go. All of these are good things. Do you think he is angry or resentful about something in particular? Would there be any secondary gain for having bizarre ideas? Is he under the influence of anybody, or peer group or internet group? Suzir, I do know how hard this is. I am living it too. COPA [/QUOTE]
