[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692457, member: 1550"] If they won't get help...yeah. I am thinking your son may have the differently wired thinking of Aspergers. That's a neurological difference that renders one socially and life decision clueless with anxiety. But again...he would need to be willing to accept help or supports from the community and I know he won't. I'm sorry. I think he has a lot of potential...but I get it. HE doesn't think so...and I think he is afraid to try. Very heartbreaking for me to read about him. He is not a bad person. He's just kind of lost...I keep cheering for him to stop self sabotaging. I think maybe it's easier to not try and not fail than to try and fail. Unfortunately, I had a bit of this. Ok, well a lot. I stopped even dealing with school once I reached high school specifically thinking, "i would rather be known as smart but I don't try, than a hard worker who is stupid " So I gave up. Maybe that's part of it with your struggling child. [/QUOTE]
