[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 327338, member: 2287"] I think susie is right.....this was beyond 14 year old typical teen stuff. I think he was in fact shooting that freakin' airsoft gun all around the house....I found bb things everywhere. The dogs were exhausted (he annoys them to no end). Now I know he was up in the attic and found ALL of his Christmas presents. It took a while for me to figure out why he came home NONsick because he usually only wants to be home like that if I'm home (severe separation anxiety).....he had it planned to scour the house till he found his presents and knew I was at work. Luckily, a week or so ago, I bought our second safe and I now lock up all my expensive jewelry where he can't get to it. I don't think he would intentionally (of sorts) steal my stuff, but not understanding the value, I could see him give it to some girl or trade it for a Gatorade. Really. I had husband try to put a key lock on the bedroom door, but for some reason it doesn't work. A couple of days ago he had a night time band concert at church. It lasted longer than his regular Focalin could hold out (short acting for stuff like this) and at one point I saw him going out the door.....now if he was going to the restroom or something, okay, but he had taken off his tuxedo shirt, bow tie, and cumberbun.......yep, disrobing. Luckily he had on a tee shirt, but still.....! When we got home he was out of control; running up and down the hallway and laughing uncontrollably. It IS a site to see at 124 lbs and taller than me. Yesterday he had a medication check and his doctor has added Intuniv to his present mix. She thinks it might even out the ups and downs he has. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
