[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 717731, member: 19889"] Nothing has changed. He went back to dabs the day he was released. Then they never went to the follow up appointment that he was so invested in when he was in the hospital. He won't get any aftercare. He stopped taking Risperdal I think he is wired differently. Maybe, I mean definitely, he would do better if his dad wasn't so permissive, otherwise he could never get his hands on any marijuana, which makes things worse. You need money for that. To get money, you have to work, which requires a lot of emotional skills he doesn't have. He is angry, deeply self conscious in public, no talk of life beyond living with parents - it is like he can't even conceive of it. He does talk of moving to Michigan, buying a house on a lake, having a speedboat, an ATV. He thinks it will happen in a year, on the profits from growing. He has no money, no work experience, no high school degree. No life skills, apart from maybe basic survival skills. In the event of a disaster, he might do quite well. I don't know. There is a disconnect. He is intelligent, he does not have autism, just "symptoms." But it is like he is trapped in childhood. I guess the one thing from this hospitalization, is I realized this isn't something I caused. I tortured myself for years, wondering what i could have done. Looking back throughout his life, he has always been extremely obstinate, a bit innocent, pretty handy. It was there all along, maybe? I feel so bad for him. [/QUOTE]
