[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 333889, member: 1550"] Has anyone ever suggested that maybe your son has Aspergers? To me, when I first read about him, I admit I thought you just spoiled him silly. But now, with his degree of anxiety and the feeling that pot helps him (maybe because he is insecure socially?) I wonder if he is an Aspie. I can't see bipolar making anybody afraid to drive. But my Aspie son is getting his license this year and he's very timid about it. In comparison, my normal thirteen year old daughter already can't wait to get out there and drive and she's always with her friends while my son doesn't really have close friends that he sees outside of school. He is going to need some help as an adult, in spite of being bright. My son doesn't seem to want to grow up and be independent. The thought seems to frighten him, at least now (he's sixteen). Most sixteen year olds can't wait to get out on their own, but we know L. won't be that way and we're ready for it. On the other hand, L. is afraid of weed too, however some Aspies do use it. Psychiatrists aren't perfect. Many don't "get" Aspergers and misdiagnose it as bipolar. In that case, bipolar medications wouldn't help him. Just a thought :) [/QUOTE]
