[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 290335, member: 1233"] I agree that it is very likely that difficult child is both sociopathic (there does seem to be a range for that just as there is for autism, from what little I know about it) and dealing with a biologically based mental illness, such as schizophrenia. I just wonder if the phone destroying it partly because he is afraid that some monster is going to come out of the phone or suck him into the phone or is saying horrible things to him through the phone. I could see Wiz destroying that many phones if he was hallucinating those kinds of things. Or the hallucination could be telling him to destroy things or it will hurt him. Wouldn't YOU be afraid if that was happening to you? Wouldn't you try to destroy phones as often as is humanly possible? It would be sheer terror if you were afraid of something like that. I wouldn't tell anyone because I would be afraid I would be sent to a long term facility or just locked up for good. I am not saying that is what is going on, simply that it might be something to look into so he can be helped. THAT might convince husband to tell the therapist maybe. I like the fax idea. Or mail it to the therapist. Just to save husband the chore of remembering. Because therapist and psychiatrist have NO chance of success if they don't know. I am sorry husband is sticking his head in the sand and trying to make an omelet and fry bacon at the same time. Just seems like a guarantee for a nasty burn. Keep being good to yourself! [/QUOTE]
