[QUOTE="WSM, post: 263447, member: 5169"] I personally think he has emerging or incipent schizophrenia. His mother was originally diagnosis'd with it, and later her diagnosis was changed to bi polar II. In any case she's in psychosis about 10 months a year, one of those homeless people who wanders the streets talking herself and yelling at God. Her brothers, difficult child's bio uncles, are one of them catatonic schizophrenic (he is medication compliant and has a life of eating and watching tv in an ALF, but every couple years the medications fail and he needs shock therapy. Last time they thought they wouldn't be able to bring him out of it, but they did, they were going to admit him permenantly to the state hospital); the other brother is a paranoid schizophrenic and he zoomed around the country, mostly between FL and MI, harassing people and getting arrested and baker acted. Then he's zombied on medications for a while, lives with the catatonic schizophrenic brother until the medications leaves his system and then goes frantically from one state to another. So husband and I both think difficult child is going to be schizophrenic eventually. I think difficult child is desperately trying to act/appear normal and that he's sicker than people think, but I don't think he's hearing voices or has had a psychotic break. I think difficult child works hard to appear normal, and sadly it works very well, so many people think he's just a poor little neglected mistreated boy with callous harsh parents who don't understand him. But by hiding his problems (if that's what he's doing and I'm just speculating, maybe it's nothing more than what we see) he's robbing himself of the opportunity for early treatment. We don't know what to do about this. I also think he has some emerging personality disorder problems which is why he blatantly ignores instructions and destroys property and steals and lies (almost everything he says is a lie, usually a pointless lie). Nobody wants to talk to him because he plays so many manipulative games, it's exhausting. He had a friend once, and after a couple of months the friend's mother (who initially promoted the relationship because her son was adhd and had never had a friend before) told her son that he couldn't be friends with difficult child anymore because, as this friend told difficult child, difficult child was 'sick in the head'. We don't really know what happened. [/QUOTE]
