[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 188612, member: 3419"] Janet, I see where you're coming from. Still, I believe my son truly didn't "get it." We talked after the police left, and the 2 things that struck me were that he grabbed SO MANY undies--the whole drawerful, which is hoarding--and that when I told him S. was no longer his friend and he'd ruined 11 yrs of friendship, he couldn't understand why. He didn't get her connectedness to the rest of the family, and how someone coming into a house and taking one person's things would affect another person. So when I made it literal, with-a concrete connection, saying that one or 2 pr of her panties were in the bunch, then he understood. But it had to be a concrete connection. It's still possible that my son is both bipolar and aspie, or something else altogether. Or none of the above. But it makes sense to me that he's somewhere on the spectrum. The one thing that he and Cory could have in common is impulsivity. They just act with-o thinking. It would be interesting to get into their heads and see if there is any connection to some sort of excitement about getting caught, or a total lack of boundaries, or a drive to get whatever it is that is so strong they abandon all caution just to get it. Of course, if we could figure all that out, we'd have perfect diagnosis's ... :) [/QUOTE]
