[QUOTE="KJsMama, post: 344630, member: 9072"] I'm definitely open to having him evaluated at a psychiatric hospital and placed in a treatment program. I'm going to do some more research on Aspergers because I don't know much about it, but he talked on time, has no problem with eye contact and is able to have a "normal" give/take conversation, no obsessions. I haven't discounted drugs completely, I just really can't see it. I take him to school, he stays at school (no problem with truency or skipping classes), I pick him up and then he's supervised until he goes to sleep and at that point we have an alarm system (we got the alarm system after the robbery). Another thing I was thinking about last night that I haven't mentioned is that we can go months without any problems whatsover and then BOOM we get hit with something like this out of left field. I think that's why we haven't been very driven to medicate him because most of the time everything seems just fine (keyword: seems). I guess I would expect that with drugs there would be more daily issues (or weekly) but what do I know. I definitely want to hug 'em and then shake 'em. His court date has changed to tomorrow suddenly. I'm not able to get off work with such little notice so Dad's gonna go. Thanks for all of your help/encouragement. Just knowing others are going through similar situations is, odly, comforting in a sad way. I'll also look into NAMI and CABF - I don't know what they are yet but thanks for the resources. I'll PM you, Momslittleangels - Thx. [/QUOTE]
