Hi, you definately have your hands full. But I can tell you from first hand
experience that when he gets to the diploma, and achieves success in life
you will see how much it was worth the struggles.

I'm Donna, and I have a now 26 year old that had lots of issues as a child.
Still has issues as a yound adult. But thanks to much work, from both his
family and himself he made it.

He wasn't diagnosed with bipolar or anything as strong as this till 16.
And at that point it was Interrmittent Explosive Disorder that they gave
him the title of. The reason was simply that it would be another year
before this new psychiatrist, I believe probably about the 7th that had
seen him could put that title with him. But she said he definately had
this, and it could be treated with the same medications.

As it was he had already been diagnosed with learning disabiiities, reading
and math both. Oppositional diffientant disorer, conduct disorder and a couple others that we don't want any kid diagnosed with.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that if at 18 he isn't done in school he has till he is 22 to finish his schooling. If he is identified with disabilities.
I'm a parent advocate in Indiana. And I help all parents that need the help.

Let me know if I can be of help.

Donna
