[QUOTE="MyHrt31, post: 245305, member: 6666"] A lot of the questions on those forms can be so vague that they can almost have different meanings depending on who's reading it. My son has been diagnosed as having Bipolar disorder and he does seem to make comments about being able to do "anything". For example, I told him that if he ever hit me or became violent, I would have to call the police. (This may sound cruel but I am just letting him know my job is to protect both of us and calling law enforcement is always an option if it means keeping us safe from his rages). He once told me that if the cops came to get him, he would get out of the handcuffs and get away. Then he told me that he would dig a hole out of the floor in prison and escape. It can be interpreted in many different ways. One psychologist says that he's a typical kid and thinks that things happen just like they do in the movies and that most kids think they are invincible. Another psychologist told me that this was narcissistic thinking and that it was an indication of his disorder. I say go with your gut feeling and let your hubby fill out a separate form. The doctor will most likely give these same "survey's" to caregivers/teachers so you'll be able to see how each person views his behaviors differently. Its a tough call but go with your mommy gut because we always know best :winking: [/QUOTE]
