[QUOTE="Katherine61, post: 636389, member: 18414"] These days are touch and go. He makes A's and B's in school. Cannot complain there. He take a couple honor classes. He is very very smart. He still doesn't show any emotions, no empathy/sympathy, cruel to animals, very anti-social, has acted as though he was going to hit me, cannot make a decision, (not even what classes to take in school or food he wants to eat,), doesn't except responsibility. If he is corrected in anyway, he will urinate at my bedroom door at night. It's as though he is marking me. He cannot say, "I'm sorry" never has unless prompted to do so. He was ask why, and he responds with, "it will mean I'm not perfect." He cannot stand change...in our home everything is on a schedule. There is so much more, but you, know it depressing. By the way he is 15 now and 6 foot 5 inches. His therapist says mentally he is at about 8-10 year old level. At this moment he has not reached sexual maturity. Oh, but when he does, I'm going to have to plant my feet in cement to be able to stay on the ground. Most people when they met my son, they say how sweet he is or you are so lucky, he a gentleman. I gotten remarks on just how well mannered he is. He will use yes/no ma'am and yes/no sir, but will not say please or thank you. All I can do is say thank you. [/QUOTE]
