[QUOTE="buddy, post: 480517, member: 12886"] Oh wow, please dont let him find out about this board! (tee hee, dont want any viruses thru this site, smile!) Yes, I bet that is a really tricky thing, to find someone who can treat him. If things in the end become severe, especially if he is bipolar, you may not have a choice. That is not a behavioral condition I am sure you know, it is a medical condition and he will likely need medication (not all do but most do) to keep himself safe, (and maybe others eventually) including to keep himself from getting in trouble with the law (speaking to your saying he has a fascination with viruses etc.) At my house I can easily turn off/disconnect out internet. I can access it thru password wirelessly. Can you make sure, even though he is a computer wiz, that he is supervised, that you are using parent controls and that he can only use computer when you are home? At least only be on the internet when you are home. That probably means controlling phone internet usage and gaming systems. You have your hands full. If you can't find medical care for him, are you willing to relocate or to travel far for care? I just can't imagine being in that spot because as you say, you must have income to support him and have a home/food/pay for medical care and treatment.... I just really feel for you. I am sure others with kids who have bipolar and other diagnosis you received will chime in here. Glad you were able to find someone who could point you in a good starting direction though. Check in often, I am sure others are coming... {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
