[QUOTE="DDD, post: 394657, member: 35"] I wish I had some terrific answer to offer. Sorry. We have as AS grandson who just doesn't connect the dots. Pesonally I fear that he may come in contact with "the system" and because his communication skills are askew, he could be seen as insolent or a smart "fanny" by authorities. on the other hand, your escalating problems seem to have come on quickly. Changes in behavior patterns at that age often are linked to drug or alcohol abuse, bonding with new people (and AS kids are so desperate for friends that they can easily be pawns), or posibly the fear of being an adult knowing they are not up to the job. My suggestion is limited to having a neuropsychologial examination scheduled to "see" where he is at this time. It can be costly but when done by a qualified team usually is worth it as it removes alot of guess work. Regarding the drug test results...many of us have learned that those tests can lead to false security. OTC cold medicines, for example, did not show up on our personal attempt to verify. Please know that I am sending caring thoughts your way. Feel free to post as often as you want. This is a very supportive group that will provide support and a diverse brainstorming team.
