[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 401290, member: 84"] I don't know about whether or not he has a mental disorder..........even aspie........because your post didn't give any real indication. That said, however, he is displaying typical religious fanaticism at it's best. Whether or not the fanaticism is due to a mental disorder (and usually it is) I can't tell you. But his behavior has become severe and is not only endangering himself but others. Someone, either you or another person, needs to have a major sit down with is parents. I lived with this all through my childhood. And I only cope with it as an adult as I flat out refuse to even touch the subject with my mother. The worst thing in my opinion about a religious fanatic is that it is impossible to convince them their behavior is completely out of control and irrational. It may be a huge battle to get others on board because the person you're trying to help is so "devout" and such that unless they get a huge taste of it up close and personal.........they find it hard to see the behavior for what it is. With my mom it seems her religious fanaticism is an effort to keep the paranoia ect of the schizophrenia at bay........or heck perhaps it's just yet another symptom of the schizophrenia itself. But I've watched over the years how her fanaticism increases in direct corrilation to her mental instability. When she is more stable it's not nearly as bad, although it never actually goes away. There is no reasoning with her because then you've gone over to the "dark side" and it actually just makes it worse. sigh Just an FYI.......when mom's on one of her tyraids? I'm devil's spawn, literally, sent to pry her from the path of God Himself................. oh, brother. You sound as if you feel strongly enough you need to have this sit down with the parents. Since they are putting other people's lives in this boys hands, they need to know what is really going on. But I don't envy you as it could go very bad very fast. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
