[QUOTE="Star*, post: 411714, member: 4964"] WO, I was thinking - I mean everyone has already offered great advice about the car thing, and it sounds like your son is doing better. He's got a sport and is obviously participating and interacting with others outside the home which is great! Congrats on that. Daughters level of depression is a curiousity though. For her NOT to come out of her room THAT much? Red flag to me. I wonder if it's not maybe either time for a medications tweak or to add a medication? (Not huge on adding more medications, but there are so many out there now that boost AD's performance) Also - was just thinking......If there was something you could get someone to get HER interested in and let THEM have her for the Summer. Like a big Sister? Do you have a local chapter of YAPS, Mentor, or Big Sisters? Could you ask your therapist for some help with her? I get shes a teen but 5-6 days locked in a room is not healthy even for the darkest teen. I think she needs to get out, get a hobby, and get a friend - an older Mentor. What kinds of things does she like to do - she may even have a talent she could build on that she has NO idea she enjoys doing things from. Dude was going to go dig dinosaur bones in Charleston, until.......they found out he was a difficult child. I think he would have made a great palentologist....no one gave him a chance.
