[QUOTE="buddy, post: 533019, member: 12886"] HI and welcome, I agree with the others, and from what you said the one diagnosis thrown out that does seem to have the others as symptoms is the Attachment Disorder diagnosis. Unfortunately many think this is rare and is only the severe forms that we sometimes see on the internet. But there are degrees and there IS HOPE but it takes intensive work and really really specialized therapies, not traditional counseling...1:1 types of therapies. Since he is so old now, I dont know how this would work but I would call around to see if there are any attachment clinics/centers around you. His early history is the key thing to this diagnosis. The disruption has to happen between birth (some day pregnancy) and age 3 or 4. Those are the bonding years, the years we form trust and empathy for others. This site may seem weird to check out but it has grown to be a really good resource for attachment challenges from any situation... [URL]http://attach-china.org/[/URL] There are many good sources on line and often you will find more information under adoption sites because the very nature of adoption is a disruption of parenting when one is very young. But clearly that can h appen for many reasons so look for the sites that you can relate to. Since he is a teen, clearly a huge part of what will need to be done now, regardless of the diagnosis. is to manage symptoms and plan for his future. I know that is a duh statement, sorry. Have you ever had a neuropsychology evaluation? It might help give you a bigger picture of the possible issues. Anyway, welcome to the group! we can really relate to what you are going through.
