[QUOTE="WSM, post: 266902, member: 5169"] Yes to neuropath and yes to pediatric psychiatric. Nobody sees mental illness, just emotionally troubled. He's seen so many, and we keep getting that he's in the realm of normal, just very (everyone emphasizes the very) manipulative. A couple have hinted at personality disorders. One pediatrician psychiatrist yelled at husband, "Why do you want your kid to be mentally ill?" Lay people like the school think we are the problem, if only he had more attention and love and understanding...but by the end of the year they sing a different song, and always predict he's not going to do well next year and he should 'see someone'. CPS, the police, and the courts seem to think he's a 'bad' kid, but he's too young to do anything. It's husband and me who think he's got serious mental health issues. We think he's going to follow his mom and her two brothers who have all be diagnosis'ed as schizophrenic, altho his mom's diagnosis changed to Bi Polar II. It doesn't matter, she lives about 10 months a year in psychosis. difficult child knows how to smooze the psychiatrists and therapists. He won't admit to the stranger things and will even deny them if husband reports them (I am only peripherally involved in his therapy, maybe one session out of 10). difficult child plays the poor little misunderstood unloved me and won't admit that he ever thought or said the stranger things he said. Or if he admits him, he will say, I was just making it up to make him mad, I was just saying it to see what they'd say, I just said it because I misunderstood what they said to me first. Sometimes he messes up, once a therapist asked him what makes him sad, and he burst out in hysterical laughter. But most of the time he seems quiet, polite, bright, interested, cooperative, puzzled, and just a little sad about not getting enough attention. Even when he's caught red handed, he denies he did what he did. And he's not indignant, but cool about it. Calm and poised. Nope, it wasn't him. Nope. [/QUOTE]
