[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643704, member: 1550"] Tired, he has so many traits of Aspergers and could get so much help. Of course, there is nothing you can do to force him to see (I'd go to a neuropsychologist) if an evaluator agrees. He would have to be totally honestly to be rightly assessed. It is almost impossible for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) adults to read other people or social clues, unless they learn how sometimes in a text book sort of way, and this is what causes them to turn away, tune out, shut down. They really see the world as "too much." It is too loud, too colorful, too busy, too confusing...and they lack the skills to function as an adult. It is not their faults if they suffer from Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). If your son is ever open to reading about it or hearing you talk about it, I suggest maybe getting him a book on Aspergers Syndrome. He would have to take the next step. In the case, I think of your son as more socially disabled than a bad young man trying to get revenge against the world and you. It's possible he is doing the best he can. I wish him lots of luck in rehab. I hope you are good to yourself, even for this one day, and find peace and serenity as right now your son is in a safe place. [/QUOTE]
