[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 245001, member: 1233"] How wonderful that your son SEES that he has a problem, and is actually TRYING to make things right with people he has hurt. It sure puts a big burden on you though. I really wonder about adult autism spectrum disorder of some kind. If at ALL possible, have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist or a group of docs of varying kinds (multi-disciplinary evaluation, or MDE). It would also be a HUGE help to him to have you do a Parent Report. It is a report on everything that has been done to help him, past diagnosis's and problems, hopes and dreams and strengths, everything. There is a format someone here a long time ago came up with and it seems to work well. Here is a link to it: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/url] Take a look at it and fill in what you can. Do it in several chunks, not all at once, it seems to be easier to do it that way. I am PROUD of your son for SEEING that he has a problem and for ASKING for help. I think he will need help from a psychiatrist (with the MD - also called psychiatrist here) and a psychologist or other therapist (therapist). He might also get some help from the people at MHMR in your area. I really do think testing to see what is really going on should be a high priority - that involves a Neuropsychologist for most people. The neuropsyc is specially trained in how the brain impacts behavior - and how problems with the brain show up in behavior. Gentle hugs to the entire family. [/QUOTE]
