[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 539962, member: 1514"] I dont mean to confuse you...lol. I havent met your son obviously but I do know the things you have posted here. The whole things about him blocking you into rooms to get into rooms to at his computer and hurting you to do it. Breaking into rooms also. Sneaking out and skipping school while we were at the beach. The whole pot use thing and staying on the phone all night and juggling girlfriends things. And the stealing the credit cards several times to use them online to buy things, especially after he knew exactly what it meant. And then the whole cell phone issue. All these things point well away from aspie to me and I think your son is aspie if he is on the autism spectrum at all. And he may be. I would actually think he could have some form of attachment disorder that isnt true Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Or how much do you know about could his birth mom and could she possibly have had a drink or few during pregnancy? That could have caused something. Even if something like slight Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). I dont know about bipolar but have you read about the Temper Dysregulation Disorder? That could be something to look into or it could just be mild conduct disorder. I dont think he is a severe case though. I think with some pretty some heavy discipline you can get this under control. He needs strong limits and some pretty severe consequences for his actions. These need to be in all areas of his life. Everyone across the board in his life has to take the same roll with him. No matter where he does the behavior, he has to get the same consequence. He has to get called on the behavior. I dont want you to think there is no hope for your son. If you think he is anti-social, that is almost like a death sentence to a parent because there is almost no treatment for a person with that unless they truly want to change and most people with anti-social pd dont think they have anything wrong with them, its everyone else around them. I think you can turn your son around before he hits his adult years if you put things into place now but if you let it get until he is in his twenties, well, then it may be much harder. Good luck, I really am pulling for both of you. [/QUOTE]
