[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 622586, member: 3419"] It's really hard to tell at this age. I'd lean toward autism/Asperger's in the meantime, since they can do interventions. Problem is, if his mother is a compulsive liar, and she let her kids watch violent shows, she's not going to care or do anything about it. What a shame. Do you have medical custody so you can take him to a therapist and work on individual behaviors? For example, even though he doesn't "care" if he is punished, I bet he'd care if you took away his video games. For example, "From now on, the next time you goad your brother, you will lose an hour of video games." You will have to take the controller and other devices. He will fight you but stick to it. He will learn that certain behaviors elicit other behaviors. Even sociopaths can follow rules. [/QUOTE]
