[QUOTE="kaykay, post: 289534, member: 7692"] Thanks for all of the information. I have been gone for several days. It is a lot to think about. in my humble opinion, I think this situation goes much beyond his diagnosis of Aspergers. He does have a younger brother who also has the same diagnosis who doesn't exhibit any of these traits. I know every situation is different, but the kids with same diagnosis who are his age, in his school etc. do not behave the same. TerryJ2, I think you understand what I am saying. There are attempts being made, but they are half-xxxxx (can I say that?). I think a more thorough diagnosis needs to be made. They have been going to the same therapist for at least the last 5 years (not sure if they are still going), but things have gotten worse. The difficult child is smart and manipulative. The parents are not working with anyone for issues they may or may not have. I think therapy would help at least as an outlet. The first time I met the father's mother, she told me her son needed therapy for his anger. I'm guessing that is a pretty big clue. DDD--I am not the only one with this concern, but the family separates themselves from social situations. The difficult child is allowed to go about the neighborhood unsupervised, and usually only kids have contact with him. I was thinking CPS for there to possibly be some sort of court order for a re-diagnosis. I have seen things go down that road though, and wouldn't want it for anyone when it doesn't work out. There is a new, from what I hear, very good Residential Treatment Center (RTC) nearby. The family thought about sending him there, were supposed to visit, it didn't fit in their schedule, so they let it go. As one previous poster said, they are not proactive, but deal in the now with each problem. They also said their insurance wouldn't pay for it, so they didn't pursue it. Anyway, nothing new has occurred, as far as I know. Thanks again for your thoughts. I will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
