[QUOTE="Steely, post: 243178, member: 3301"] Just saying hi again klmno......... I hope you are able to start finding some inner peace within all of this outside turmoil. My difficult child is the Master Manipulator. OMG. [I]He[/I] does not even know he is doing it sometimes, not to mention me. It is scary. However, after being in placements for the last 6 months, he is starting to see it. For yours, it might take some time as well. Matthew has never been the honeymooning kid. He might go a day, or maybe 5 days, and then he comes unglued. I am not sure if that is a blessing or a curse, but at least I know what is to come pretty fast. Who knows about your kiddo either, but regardless, within the next month he will show his inner core enough that the staff will be able to discern what is really going on. As far as I am concerned the diagnosis does not really matter, it is the methodology used to treat his symptoms that matter. I would recommend the same to you. I have known something was off with Matthew since he was 18 months, but it took until he was 12 to get even an inkling of what might be wrong with him on paper. In your case, your difficult child just started this behavior a couple of years ago, so it might take longer to get an accurate diagnosis -then again - the diagnosis does not matter as much as having a team that is dedicated to treating and helping difficult child with the symptoms he is experiencing. There are a bazillion colors to the rainbow of mental illness, and it does not all fit under 5 umbrellas. As for the shoes.........geesh. Currently my 18 YO will only wear one shirt, and one pair of pants, and washes them every day. OK - uh.......Can we say a bit AS? Yet, that is not his diagnosis. He is the same way with shoes. He will wear the same thing until it has a hole in it or is falling apart, just because "he likes it". Do not put too much worry into it.
