[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 609709, member: 17051"] Bio mom has legal custody, so as you said it is her call as to how his issues are handled. His pediatrician thinks he has Asperger's, the psychiatrist and psychologists do not think he has Asperger's or anything else on the spectrum. Bipolar 2 and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are what has been diagnosed so far, but husband and I are certain that with a comprehensive evaluation that other things may be found. The problem is bio mom is in total denial, doesn't agree with the diagnosis and wants a second opinion and is dr. shopping right now. So, basically other than the current psychiatrist weaning him off the Vyvanse because he does not have ADHD and keeping him on the Celexa and Abilify, nothing else is being done right now other than weekly counseling with a psychologist that SS refuses to talk to. As for husband making him order his own food, well he did that because SS will order his own food on very rare occasions so I am sure husband was hoping he would do it that time as well, but SS will cop an attitude about ordering his own meal most of the time and give us the "other kids his age don't order their own food line" and act like he is afraid to do it. He is so immature for his age and perhaps husband was just trying to get him to man up a little, I don't know. I think my biggest concern is what SS said about his ex-step dad, that he thought about doing bad things to him. If he is thinking about committing violence against his ex-step dad just because he didn't like him or was angry with him, then that is very concerning to me because SS is angry with me now too because we are not going to allow video games in our home since the psychiatrist said he is severely addicted and should never play them. It's just a very hard situation all the way around. :( [/QUOTE]
