[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 648970, member: 11791"] Sherri... if he's "very immature", and has a lot of anger... have you ever looked at Asperger's syndrome? If not, do NOT go looking at the official dxes. They confused me. Try reading some real-life stories, like "Look Me In The Eye" by John Elder Robinson. Kids who are on the fringes of Aspie/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits don't necessarily get a diagnosis, but if the traits are there, then the Aspie way of handling things is something to learn about. There are things that work better than others with Aspies. By the way - anger in young men is frequently a sign of depression. And depression often goes along with all sorts of other issues and challenges, especially if these have not been addressed and accommodations and interventions put in place. I'd be wary of even ODD as a diagnosis. It's a good placeholder, acknowledges that something is wrong, but doesn't give any guidance or interventions. Just a sign there may be something else going on. [/QUOTE]
