[QUOTE="Bagtaggies, post: 406848, member: 11143"] We were told that the main difference between conduct disorder (his version) and Antisocial Personality is the fact that Antisocial is not diagnosed in children... only those over the age of 18.. and they have to have conduct disorder first. But again, it's all "hypothetical" because he's uncooperative. I don't even agree with the mood disorder, and think it was just something the psychiatrist jotted down to justify writing a prescription. He shows no swing in emotion or moods what so ever. You could tell him his grandmother died - his emotion wouldn't change. And while everyone else is crying, mourning... he'd walk up and say, "So, dad... can I go to the movies?" or ask what's for dinner. One of the symptoms is assuming aliases... and he's all over that one. In 9th grade, there was a girl he liked in the Special Education classes. So.. he went to the guidance counselor and gave some lame story about struggling and asked to be tested so that he could be in the same classes as she was. His tests were normal. I actually work with preschool children with Autism and Aspergers... and I just don't see any similarities. And he absolutely defys authority - every chance he gets. You tell him to be home at 9, he strolls in at 9:15, and doesn't care about what consequence you give him for it. He is a junior in high school, with a 3.0 GPA. He's an JROTC drill cadet, and on the tennis team. To people on the outside, he's the all-American Boy. It's when you start peeling back the layers and have to deal with him that you see what's really underneath. As for the porn... the first time we caught him accessing a website he wasn't supposed to he was 11. Now, at 16.5, porn is to him as crack is to the street junkie. He will access it at all costs. He made a profile online of himself using the photos of his dead uncle... friended girls, lead them to believe he was having an exclusive long distance relationship with them (when it reality it was about 10 or more at a time)... conned them into sending nude photos of themselves... and once he got the picture, he'd quit talking to them. We had to take away every wifi device he had (cell phone, PSP, iPod Touch, Xbox Live) and then had to put keylogger parental controls on our home computer. [/QUOTE]
