[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 365017, member: 3444"] Yeah, Terry -- it was NOT dark out at all! He was NOT trying to be discrete about it, either! I'm starting to wonder if he needs his Depakote levels checked... we were out yesterday for an early dinner and he was clearly becoming very wound up, hyperactive and impulsive. I brought that to his attention and he admitted to feeling out of control. He settled down a little after he ate, but he was still behaving impulsively and something else I've noticed -- he becomes very concerned about how he looks and what he's wearing when he gets like this. He'll primp in the mirror for an hour like he's going someplace special when he's supposed to be getting ready for bed! We went into Old Navy to check out a sale on men's shorts after dinner last night and difficult child 2 started buzzing around from rack to rack grabbing one thing after another with this expectation that he was going to have it bought for him! Now, if he was truly manic, he would have gotten REALLY angry when I told him to put stuff back, but he didn't. He argued a bit, and I allowed him to negotiate on two items, but the rest he had to put back and he was cooperative and didn't give me any attitude. But the "driven" behavior, the impulsiveness -- combined with the tree stunt, the excessive sleeping... I'm keeping an eye on this. [/QUOTE]
