[QUOTE="Cari Lynn, post: 389516"] My son had some friends when he was in middle school, would go to birthday parties, have them over for his, but once high school hit that is when all our problems began. As if I had to give it a word, he does seem to be a loner. I can't get him motivated to do anything, not chores, grades, homework, sports, I even share my passion for my draft horses with him, and he just is sullen. I praise him when he does well, I try to talk to him and explain till I am blue in the face and very frustrated. We talked to him tonight and his dad was very angry as he cleaned all the papers and **** he stuffed in his closet and we took the kids books off his book shelf so he had more room and his dad found the cd's and computer programs he had specifically asked him if he had, our son said no. A fight ensued of words, so when his dad went out to start feeding our horses, I asked Drew what was wrong and he said he just wanted to be alone and left alone then burst into tears. I told him that I can't help if I don't know how and that if there is something wrong I need to know. He said no and he didn't know what was wrong, so I left him be. I guess being a neat freak is bad for him as I want things clean, but you all may be right, I need to let him have HIS room as he likes and/or wants it, just go in and make the bed or hang his clothes up and wash them when needed. I am hopeful that once we get the results back from the psychiatric evaluation, we can then approach this with a new light. I know our counselor said he has a very high I.Q, I believe 162 range. I just to find him some peace and for him to be the loving, caring, sensitive young man I know he is. [/QUOTE]
