[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 518462, member: 1550"] Ok...first of all big hugs. PLease, beating yourself up will not help. I *do* think it would help to not bring so many people into his life. My own opinion is, it's probably better if son has a place to live that is less chaotic. But that's not my main message. I would challenge t hat psychiatrist and give your kid a neuropsychologist evaluation. in my opinion he will end up, not with ADHD or CD, but on the autism spectrum somewhere. There are various degrees and in my opinion he fits there somewhere. He had so many symptoms, but it is one of the most overlooked diagnoses there are, in spite of autism being found much more often. The usual misdiagnosis is ADHD. Another unpleasant possibility is that he probably has more going on than ADHD and he has suddenly started messing with recreational drugs to make him feel more normal. Either way, I think a neuropsychologist evaluation will REALLY help both of you, as long as he is willing to do it. I did not read all the other responses, as I just came home from work, but if I am repetitious, I apologize. We all care about one another here and I hope you keep us updated on what you decide to do and on how your son is doing. [/QUOTE]
