[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 433872, member: 7083"] The theft and drastic change in personality leads me directly to drugs. When difficult child 2 was using hard, he would have fit the criteria for ASPD to someone who just saw his behaviors, but didn't know him. He was 15, stealing, and running away all the time. Was put into foster care and ran from there. Was put into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and ran away 3 times, stealing a car the last time to do so. They couldn't keep a hold on him until they put him in a lockdown Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He was aggressive, angry, and didn't care about anything or anyone but himself. He stole from anyone. Addiction changes a person completely. He's no longer using hard drugs - although he readily admits that he smokes a lot of pot - but he's been living in the same place for longer than he's been in one spot for almost 4 years and he has a job. He came over this morning at 8:15 to take the garbage out for me. His mom and I expected him to be in prison by now. (He's also bipolar, in denial and refuses medications.) More of my family members are addicts than aren't, too, so I may tend to think of drugs first...but when you first posted that was my first thought. [/QUOTE]
