[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 458824"] Susie-I really appreciate your heartfelt advice. We've had consults with 3 neuros-one at the time of the injury, another 3 months later (when he came home for tgiving) and his therapist obtained his hospital records, and later record and consulted with another neuro. No neuro damage was found-though post concussive syndrome could explain the rough grades. (So could screwed up priorities.) However, Short & LT memory tested high percentile. I'm the one who grasped the idea of PTSD, however he exhibits no sign of trauma and his avoidance is directed solely at his parent's expectations and apparently studying requirements. Unfortunately, since he is 19 I have no access to his future medical records nor can I call his therapist (who was as open with us as possible). The more I learn about his extracurriculars, the more I have to accept that this was very much a choice-including the situation that led to the assault. And that he would rather be a follower than a leader. He's latched on to a boy from hometown who has that scary combo of checked out but indulgent parents, lots of spending money, and enough intelligence to not have to work hard at anything. Thanks to this boy's prolific twitter postings & urban dictionary, I've expanded my vocabulary to include wake and bake, sesh, hot box, skeet, and way too much more. Regardless of who/what brought difficult child to these choices -they are his choices. And his thinking is mighty clear when he is doing as he pleases. [/QUOTE]
