[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 343885, member: 1550"] If he truly has no friends AND he explodes (is he a rigid thinker too?) I would be thinking Asperger's syndrome, which can cause explosive behavior, especially as they get older and aren't getting help. They know they are different and get frustrated. However, due his age you probably won't know what is wrong with him. It will be up to him to decide to get help. But I think he has probably been grossly misdiagnosed. There aren't too many disorders where the kids just hang at home with the family, but Aspergers is often like that. Bipolars tend to go out when manic and get into trouble and do risky things. Impending borderlines do the same thing. [/QUOTE]
