[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 48354, member: 2315"] It appears that your difficult child has been evaluated from a psycological perspective. You mention drug use by the mother. I strongly suggest that your brother get a MRI of his son's brain and have them look specifically at the structure called the Corpus Callosum. This structure is the ganglea of nerves that intergrates the left and right hemisphere of the brain. It can be affected by prenatal drug and alchol use, physical abuse and other traumas. Behaviors such as those you describe (also autism, schizophrenia, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), PTSD and many other MH issues) are often present in people with a malformed or malfunctioning corpus callosum. These are people who typically have normal intellegence but lack wisdom and the ability to learn from their mistakes. I have been doing much research on this matter since my son was born with a rare genetic disease in which this structure is often missing or malformed. As an infant it was determinned that he had the structure but no further monitoring was ever done. My son has been a difficult child to raise his entire life. Having been adopted he was always loked at from a Physcological view and was treated with drugs and therapy all to no real advantage. His behaviors were always destructive, defiant and repetitive. He never seemed to learn from his mistakes and he cannot project to the possible consequences of his actions. Newer research into the function of this brain structure is giving ninsight into behaviors such as these and the treatments and prognosis for autistic indivituals. -RM [/QUOTE]
