does he take care of his personal hygiene
does he have chores or do his own laundry
mean, angry, or laid back and not caring about anything...
no normal interaction with others..

can she see any changes in his eyes & does he act like a totally different kid at times?

some kids are late bloomers
Is he a very shy kid???
He has friends, but because he has no girl to take to the prom, and all his friends are bringing girls, they told him "no, you can't come to the prom and hang out with us, we have girls".

THESE ARE FRIENDS???

Anyway, I found out he's been in special ed, he's been diagnosed with ADD, he will not take his ADD meds, and he refuses to even consider a job.

The mother wants to put him on SSI.

That's all the info I have.

My question though was "can a regular blood test screen for any type of drug use?" or do you need a specific drug test to indicate "yeah the kid is on drugs".

Thanks,
Melody
