[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 83876"] I wanted to add my welcome. Your son seems to truly live in the moment...and I don't mean in a way that is typical for kids. The emotions he is feeling at THAT time become all-consuming, it appears. When he's with his friends, he's happy and that defines him. When he's in trouble, that seems to define him to the point of SI (self-injury). That is very split thinking and I would make sure the psychiatrist and therapist are aware of this. Whatever his diagnosis turns out to be, it's something that can be addressed in therapy. With the knowledge of how he reacts to these situations, I would think that either CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or DBT (Dialectal Behavioral Therapy) would be very helpful for your son. You're right; hindsight IS 20/20. There are a thousand things with my daughter I would do over if I could. [/QUOTE]
