[QUOTE="DDD, post: 25908, member: 35"] Sorry you are having such a hard time. You are not alone. Alot of us have had problems getting teens up and out in the morning and many of us have discovered that there was a real reason for their reluctance. In some cases it has been drugs. In some cases it has been the awful trauma of the school environment for a kid who is not perfect. In some cases it has been hormones that triggered defiance. In some cases medication was necessary and proved to be the answer. Why don't you check in on the Teen and S.A. forum? Maybe by reading other posts you will be inspired. Everyone is very supportive. I, too, have as Aspergers teen with ADHD thrown in. Without medication he was destined for failure. With medication and a bunch of support at home and with a therapist, he is doing quite well. He would like to have friends etc....but he is learning to accept his differences and capitalize on his strengths. in my humble opinion your son may need a full evaluation to make sure he is getting what is appropriate at school, home etc. Also in my humble opinion you should try every avenue to avoid "the system". "The system" is NOT what you grew up with or the generations before. Your son could very easily be destined to a lifetime of grief if he is left to flounder and the Juvie system is asked to solve his problems. Welcome and good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
