[QUOTE="Colleen trainor75, post: 712467, member: 21835"] hi my name is Colleen and I am new to this site, and don't know exactly how to do this so sorry if it's not right. 'Y son just turned 18 and even as a little boy had conversations with himself, he would talk, but also answer his own questions. Over the years I have taken him to more doctors then a care to admit, but he was my first child and wasn't sure at first if this was normal. As years have gone on he has gotten worse, he only has a handful of friends and their all older then him, but not one friend in his high school which it's his last year. As a parent I worry and wonder what I did wrong he like I said has been to so many doctors they have gave him diagnosis like autism, aspagers which I know is in that family. One doctor said he had bipolar so many diagnosis I don't know where to go from here. We have tried every medication you can think of but he hates them because he no longer talked and just walked around like a zombie so he begged to go off bc he felt dead on it. Now he's 18 and can't force him to see or take any medications, but as a mother I worry sick about his future. He does have learning disabilities so he does struggle in school to keep up his grades, I am a single mom that lives with my mom until last year when she passed suddenly she had a massive stroke and died 4 days later and I feel my son has not been the same and talking to himself picked up a lot she was like his second mother who helped raise him while I worked.
