| I am sure that we will do all of them. He will soon go live in a group home, he is currently inpatient. He has been in and out of there many times and thrives there actually. I suspect it is the absolute controlled environment that calms him down. He hates change or surprises and has an extreme amou... |

| Our 13 year old was just diagnosed with conduct disorder, we were told it is very close to sociopathy. I was also told that the type of narcissism that he has is very rare. We are educated and dedicated parents and this is very upsetting. We love that child and are trying desperately to keep him out... |

| Tracker- The list isn't meant to be idealized, although it probably seems that way. I am just trying to give him a "picture" of what a healthy relationship usually looks like for people. When I say that a friend respects the laws, I am talking about not stealing, not doing drugs, my son just turned ... |

Your insight is incredibly helpful to me . I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. I will put it in his friendship folder that he refers to often. This is well said.
Zeg- Knowing each other is a good point to bring up since he thinks just about anyone is his friend. |

We are in cognitive therapy and extensive programs right now helping him through this, but he responds well to written lists so I thought I would show you what I have so far and ask for your inpu... |

We went to the top of the ladder to discuss it and ask how we should handle the situation. We were ready to stir the pot to make sure he didn't fall through ... |

| All I can say is holy cow! I can relate to the trouble you are having. I'm sorry you have to deal with all the drama, but your son is really fortunate to have you advocating for him, it will make a huge amount of difference for him later. I have a 12 year old that has "mild Asperger's" and he cannot... |

I will have to see about that.
He experiences a large amount of anxiety over what seems trivial to many, I wonder if this would help him.
I think if I were him, I would feel anxious too. I think he feels often like he is in culture shock. |
