My son's poor F Mom sounded a bit bedraggled the last two times she called. I so know that feeling.
The latest adventure had to do with sneeking out of his bedroom (breaking the window), onto the porch where they store the sodas. He had some 30 or so can's in his room (he is only allowed 1 per day) & when confronted, "I didn't do it" was the response.
I find that eventually he will & did take responsibility, but it does take a while!
The next item of interest would be mouthing off to the bus driver. I think someone ate my son & took over his body. He just hasn't been like this in school, etc. He is on a stricter chart of items he must get done now.
He did go on about wanting to kill himself/being dead. They had to take him to be evaluated but I guess he figured really quick he wanted to go back home & not go to a facility. Here, he just wanted the facility. Going home was just not something he wanted.
I know that if I had these incidents here, his psychiatrist would have made some adjustments ASAP as these are impulse control issues. Apparently the psych that deals with him does not take such a quick approach. I also find it annoying that the Asperger's seems to be addressed before the Bi-Polar which is backwards. If you can't keep the moods stable & the impulses under control you might as well throw out the learning & retaining.
Sometimes being less involved is easier & sometimes it isn't!
Love you boy! :)
