[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 638077, member: 17542"] Origami, the things your son said about and to the police sounded so familiar. My difficult child has said the same and more many times. Today, not so much. He's now 25. He can still do the blame game but dialed way back. He has also been anti-rules. Anti-society. Anti-turning-in-your-homework-even-after-he-did-the-homework. Thumbing his nose at every requirement, just because. Today, not so much. He is now working full time and just moved into an apartment this weekend. We'll see. I am cautiously optimistic but it's certainly not perfect. Hang in there. A lot of what happened with your difficult child was just 17-years-old-talking! They don't even know what they don't know. Maybe what he did, when he did it (not yet 18), will get his attention when he goes to court. Maybe this is his wake up call, and he will be scared enough to straighten up. I would let circumstances unfold as they will, and see what happens. On the spectrum, it's just enough to be trouble but not real trouble. Hang in there. This too shall pass. [/QUOTE]
