[QUOTE="Steely, post: 245326, member: 3301"] The thing about those tests, is that you have to know what they are getting at. Forever, I said that Matthew was based in his reality in his thinking, and not grandiose, until someone re-framed the question to me, and got me really thinking. No, he does not think that he can be or is a rock star, or a King, or Superman. However, he will jump from [I]really[/I] high places and not understand how it could be dangerous. Or ride his bike across 4 lanes of traffic and not see anything wrong with it. Invincible when manic is how I finally classified it. Or inflated in his self image and self perception. I can't think of any other examples right now - but I think you kinda have to know what the test is getting at. Do you feel like difficult child thinking is sometimes not realistic or based in reality? On another note. I HATE those tests. Seriously, I should have started xeroxing them from the time Matthew was 5 - so I could just pass them out to prospective doctors, and all the phophs Matt was in. Sigh.:ashamed: Hugs. [/QUOTE]
