[QUOTE="Concerned parent, post: 703358, member: 21045"] This might be an option to explore at some point. Right now he does not seem to have the self-Initiative to follow through, but appreciate the idea. He seems very lost, self-medicating, and seems to not care about anything but what he wants right in front of him. Executive functioning and judgment seem to be totally missing, although there are moments where he seems to be more on track. We have had a somewhat quieter week, he shared a meal with us, talked about what he is learning at school, says he wants to be on track. The next day he turns around and skips a class or two or three. At least he is going to some of them, and until this semester was fairly on track academically, even if he struggled with school due to learning disability and probably major executive functioning issues. Our theory is that the pot is what he is using to numb out just how out of place he feels, but regardless, he needs to find different ways to cope, constructive ones, or at least that is our hope for him.
