[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 493889, member: 1550"] Insane, heh. My son is eighteen now. I don't play games anymore. I can just not dispute that it's 5:59 and say, "Well, we have to go now" and he'll do it. It's just that he HAS to bring it up, and he's so serious! His literal thinking actually caused a misdiagnosis once. His psychiatrist asked him if he hears voices. He said he does so his psychiatrist diagnosed with bipolar and stuck him on bipolar medications including antipsychotics. He always insisted he hears voices when asked so the diagnosis stood, even when hub and I were quite sure something about it was not right and we finally took him to a neuropsychologist and dumped the medications. Much later, when it was clear he isn't bipolar, I asked him why in the world he told the doctor he hears voices. He answered, with a serious face, "I do hear voices. You just talked to me and I heard you." Grrrrrrrrrrr! [/QUOTE]
