[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 572407, member: 11791"] Miracles do exist, in a sense. But... it would take both of you being on the same page, and at this age would require your son to want to cooperate. But... I've been watching your posts, not responding because the primary presentation was substance abuse.... and I noticed that you are starting to wonder what else is going on. Something like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspie would definitely account for him feeling like "he's not like everyone else". Aspies and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) people are "wired differently". They DO think differently. Many of them can still be successful in life, but it really helps to know what you are dealing with. You can't, however, force a 19 year old to cooperate for an evaluation. It would have to be something he wants, too. [/QUOTE]
