[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 693346, member: 1550"] im sure you will get many other responses. Has he ever had a neuropsychological (not to be confused with neurology...they are different) evaluation? A psychiatrist would miss this if its what I think is going on. I don't think its a psychiatric problem, but rather a neurological difference, like my son has. Psychiatrists didnt help my son either and they misdiagnosed him with bipolar. My son clearly, now that he has had proper interventions, has NO hint of bipolar. Once he did, but not now. I have a twenty three year old son high on the autism spectrum and he had/has almost every symptom/issue you have mentioned. He is doing well now as he has received a lot of intervention throughout his life. I highly suggest you get a neuropsychological evaluation before he graduates. Your son sounds "differently wired." There is help for quirky people like our son's. My son will only wear certain material, hates strong smells and loud noiseb(but he sure used to MAKE loud noise...lol), loves computers snd videogames (typical for spectrum kids) and has other challenges that he is overcoming more and more each year. The part about needing things to be only one way or throwing a tantrum just SCREAMS autism. My son doesn't do this anymore, but he did at one time. Its a huge trait of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A red flag. Rigid thinking is too. I dont believe he is being difficult on purpose. My son doesn't touch pot, but very high anxiety is also a part of even high functioning autism. I can see a kid on the spectrum using pot. It cant hurt to test your son. A neuropsycologist is highly regarded so there are often long waiting lists. If it were me, I'd want it done before he graduates. He could get a lot of help now and even after he graduates. Whether or not you decide to try this route, I wish you well and hope for the best. by the way, the pot is NOT making things better! Good luck.
