[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 11547, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. I have four adopted kids. The birth family history is very important because things like bipolar and autism are hereditary. If he has both, he has his hands full (just like you do) and he needs both treatment for Aspergers (school interventions) and medication for bipolar. Since he is getting older, I hope you can get him in treatment soon. It sounds like he is being treated as if he is a 'bad' kid at school. Obviously he isn't making good choices, but they could very well link back to his disorders. Pot is a BIG red flag. My daughter was caught using pot and we late found out she was doing a heck of a lot more than pot--you name it, she tried it before she straightened her act out. We didn't even guess she'd be crazy enough to try more than pot. I wish you luck. I'd want him evaluated, maybe by a neuropsychologist, and treated for his disorders--at 18 you lose all your ability to help him. [/QUOTE]
