[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 609692, member: 17051"] Hi stessedtomax, SS has very few friends and is very socially backwards. He won't even order his own food at a restaurant. He says that no one his age orders their own food, when the truth is, he is just so socially awkward he doesn't want to do it. He even had a meltdown over it once when we went to a fast food restaurant and my husband told him to tell the lady what he wanted and he refused so husband said either you order, or you don't get to eat anything. He still wouldn't so we left the restaurant and he proceeded to meltdown in the car, kicking the car windows. Luckily the glass did not break. And yes, he has serious hygiene problems. He doesn't want to take showers or brush his teeth, and he smells bad and his breath is horrible. I am really surprised that kids at school don't say something to him about how he smells. His bio mom has had to resort to dragging him into the shower. When we do get him to take a shower he gets in and spends maybe a minute or two and gets right back out, and he can't possibly get clean in that amount of time. And one thing I just remembered, which is disturbing, is last summer when his bio mom was still married to his stepdad, he said in the car that he thinks about doing bad things to stepdad. He didn't like him but still, that is frightening to me. And now that we don't allow video games at our home he doesn't like me either and I shudder to think he may now have the same thoughts about me. I think this is something that we need to tell his psychiatrist about when his bio mom finds a new dr. for him. [/QUOTE]
