[QUOTE="klmno, post: 228132, member: 3699"] You snuck in SW- I think you answered my question about what expectations there are for reasoning in a 13 yo. As far as last night, he's been arrested, handcuffed, tdo'd, and had cops called on him before. He has NEVER had either a cop go to his bedroom door, tell him to hit the floor/ground, or had tasers pointed at him, much less pointed at him while he's handuffed lying face down on a floor. If that didn't phase him, he would have to be in full blown mania. But you know- if that left a strong enough impression on him that he never points a knife at me or anyone else again, than so be it. Even though I know he has an illness, I try to work on it from all angles and I don't want it just dealt with as a discipline issue- as you all know- but a jolt into understanding that this isn't tolerable doesn't always hurt either. I don't know if it's typical for BiPolar (BP) or not, but with my son, there are shades of gray. Ie- he isn't always either stable, depressed or in full blown mania. It's becoming clear that there are times when he obviously isn't stable but it doesn't quite meet the definition of the extremes, I don't think- this is something to discuss with psychiatrist. And of course, how much has to do with reactions to medication changes? [/QUOTE]
