[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 254999, member: 1514"] I am probably going to be in the minority here and agree with this psychiatrist. While I dont know your stepson personally, I have read your posts and he does sound like a budding ASPD. CD often does lead into this. There is treatment for CD but the person has to want that treatment and normally they dont because they think they have no problems. The legal system will come into play because normally the person ends up breaking the law because they dont think laws apply to them. My son had a psychiatrist tell me that he was a budding sociopath when he was 12. I was appalled. I thought she was nuts. I went through his entire teen years searching for help with mood disorders when I now think I should have been looking for help with conduct issues. I still believe my son has bipolar of some sort but his personality disorder is his biggest issue. I think if we had addressed that CD very early on he would have maybe not had the legal issues he had as an adult...but ya never know. Your son is 15. Prime age for all this to come about for a teen boy. Getting him help is not going to be easy at all. If you can find something called MST therapy you might stand a chance. Im so sorry about this. He doesnt face an easy future but sometimes...it is that first jail sentence that makes them change. It seems to have had an effect on my son. We shall see if it is a lasting effect. [/QUOTE]
