[QUOTE="stressbunny, post: 259047"] difficult child was issued 2 citations and also ordered to pay restitution. He has a court date in a couple of weeks. Right now, difficult child seems numb, like he has no emotion or feelings or guilty conscience. There has been absolutely nothing going on that would trigger some sort of emotional instability. He has been getting good grades, has lots of friends, and is doing well in sports. He's been getting tons of positive feedback from us and his grandparents. It seems like now that he's started stealing (in the past month), that he can't stop. If he doesn't have empathy or exhibit feelings of remorse or guilt, how will he be able to function so that he doesn't do this again? Does anybody have any thoughts about what we need to do to help him? I believe this problem is a manifestation of his neurological impairments. Another issue could be that his stimulant medication dosage hasn't been adjusted in years. He has grown a LOT physically, so maybe a higher dosage would help with his impulsivity. I'm at a loss and still very distraught. StressBunny [/QUOTE]
