[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764103, member: 23742"] One question I have (and might be unanswerable) is if my son will be permanently unable to express certain feelings because his brain is just incapable or could he learn how to express through therapy, etc.? Has anyone here had any experience with a child/adult child on the autism spectrum who has trouble expressing feelings? He is actually a loving soul who seems to perceive himself as a lot tougher than he is. But I also feel like whatever meth he has done, even as a “casual” user, has intensified his anger. There is no casual usage with meth. Our member New Leaf at the bottom of her posts describes her daughter‘s body as being “snatched” by meth. That’s what it does, it is so devastating. To the body and the mind. So highly addictive and just the worst effect on the personality that you could imagine, making someone mean, reckless, think they’re God or the devil, paranoid and manic, in addition to ravaging the body. I’ve heard the effects on the brain can be permanent. My son had some issues before meth, mostly depression and anxiety, and a little anger. Now he exhibits all of the above. I think he is in psychosis or is recovering from it. He’ll seem “normal” and all of a sudden say something just totally off the chart about the devil, a crazy conspiracy theory, or that a famous hamburger chain puts human body parts in its meat because he saw it on the internet!! I pray it’s not permanent brain damage but have to consider that possibility. [/QUOTE]
