[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 653880, member: 18284"] SuZir -- Wow. Interesting post. Lots to consider in there. As I read, I feel many questions arising. I have no answers (sorry). But I can certainly see where your concerns lie. The Good --- Social interaction and planning ahead sound good (if I'm reading your take on that right). Sounds good to me, too. The Worrisome --- Worrisome, indeed. Self-harm is always worrisome (on any level). Your note that it's more hidden from public, but clearly designed to bring him pain is insightful. Very insightful. Do you mind if I ask what kinds of things he does (preserving anonymity)? And how did you happen to discover his acts of self-harm when he goes to such great length to hide them? The Freaky --- Well, now, that dilemma is a big ol' ball of complicated wax. Hmmmm..... I was just thinking about our son and his "personas". His sides tended to be "Checked In", "Flagrantly Checked Out" and the third disturbed me (by far) the most.......... "Inhabiting An Entirely Different Planet". Our son's "personas" sound different than your son's. Do you remember how old your son was when you first registered his "personas" emerging? And.........have his personas shifted/inflated/deflated over time? I have no answers. But I do send support your way in whatever ways I can. That's a lot on your plate! [/QUOTE]
