[QUOTE="Fran, post: 394887, member: 3"] Hi omghelp. It's a difficult tight rope you are on. Despite being 18, he is delayed in his development and is not really thinking like an 18yr old. My difficult child also had a multitude of labels behind his name. Unfortunately, there is a reason. Our kids seem to have symptoms of many different labels. I think it's overlap. His behavior is pretty unusual for an Aspie. Usually they are very rule driven and don't tend to break laws or do drug or alcohol. Obviously, your son has some secondary behaviors that are outside the norm of Aspie. One thing you know for sure. He will not get better or learn anything in prison that will help his Aspie thinking. If there were other alternative programs that could be substituted for jail time, I would beg on my knees to the judge to let your son get "rehabbed"in a facility that can cope with your son's complicated diagnosis. In the meantime, Get his doctor to write a letter to the judge, advocating for him. None of this will cure your son but it may give him time to grow up and benefit from the therapeutic environment. Our kids just aren't ready to be adults yet. I wonder if his "friends' are not putting a very negative influence on him. I'm sorry you are going through this. My difficult child was quite difficult. He failed a couple of opportunities and realized his life was going no where. At 26, he is doing better. Hope they can find something that will both protect and teach him. [/QUOTE]
