[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 676417, member: 11791"] I'd be interested to know WHY he is choosing to become non-compliant with medications. It could be that the medications are not working for him, or that he has an incorrect diagnosis or is missing an additional diagnosis. Been there done that. It could also be that he is using "non-compliance" as a way to be able to quit school. Given what our family has experienced with school, it's entirely possible that he is actually "school non-compliant". I know, the current "world" expects our kids to all get their grade 12. [B][I]Even if it kills them.[/I][/B] I'm serious - school almost killed TWO of my kids - not just the most challenging one. At almost-18, it's harder to get to the bottom of it all. We allowed ours to quit school... on condition that they were either working full time, or some combination of school and work that was equal to full time - and ours has complied with that requirement (and, having been allowed to drop out of school, has remained medications compliant as well).
