[QUOTE="charmwood5, post: 405828, member: 11048"] We never really got a diagnosis. They pretty much said he was just being a kid. And of course, he knew how to play them so that when we got in there, they looked at me like "Um... there's nothing wrong with this kid! He's great!" His early development was totally normal. 10 pound baby, no illnesses, no mental illness in either of our families that I'm aware of. Well, I was was treated for anxiety and panic attacks in my early 20s. Any connection? He is the middle child, older brother, younger sister. All of my children are unique and special in their own way. If we've treated him any differently, we did it unintentionally. He's always had a really dry, almost adult sense of humor. I had a teacher in middle school tell me a couple of year ago that he would say something and she would die laughing. She said the kids would all just be sitting there and she and Reed woudl be cracking up. She said "I just got him" I've seen so signs of drug or alcohol use although I'm not so naive to think it couldn't be going on. I've asked him and and he vehemently denies it. I will watch closely though. As crazy as this sounds, I even asked my husband this morning if he thought he could be on steroids. He's a really big 16 year old. About 6'3 and close to 215 pounds. Very muscular. My husband says he seriously doubts it. These problems have been going on longer. We have an appointment with his pediatrician this morning. His dad took him but I wrote up a long essay detailing his issues. He's talked to Reed before about these issues. They tried him on Concerta but I really don't think it's a focus issue. I'm really prone to lean more towards depression of sorts. Thanks for everyone's insight. I will update later today! [/QUOTE]
