[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 540507, member: 2322"] my computer is screwint up so i will try again. I think the only hope is prefrontal cortex develpment and keepinghim safe until some growing up happens It seems like you have tried the right medications. He sounds like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), and even scans will not reveal that unless the damage is really severe. We had an open adoption and only learned a few years later of alcohol and drug use. I think all you can is keep him alive--so maybe a structured ranch with great supervision and lots of labor and a positive environment would be the best thing for him. We have to lock up the snacks too. But in the last few months with my youngest I have seen the beginning of maturity. He started working out with the 20 something year old athletic trainer who really talked to him about healthy eating and little by little I see the beginning of more self control. to the extent that you can manage it surrounding him with positive role models who bothe supervise and mentor may help--at least it will keep you from being the prison guard all the time. I struggle a lot with finding the right consequences, I don't believe in my son's case that is simply doing what he wants, he wants what he wants, but it is really impulsivity and a lack of really being able to withstand the urges for future positive gain How do you impress upon these kids that what they are doing is wrong without subjecting them to 24/7 negative feedback? Still sruggling with that one! [/QUOTE]
