It's been awhile 4 or more years since I first posted. After my son was stable he went to several group homes and eventually received an apartment on his own. At that time, he was "pretty much himself" but still not the son I knew before. So...Ben wouldn't talk to the neighbors, for his upstairs neighbor would shout to "nobody" and keep him awake at nite and people would ring his doorbell at nite. It was a shady area, and I couldn't stand it anymore. So...Ben's home again. Still with problems, not like the first time though!! I keep my eye on him all the time. He drives now, with me mostly and volenteers with me at a food shelter. He's hobby's too! Slot cars and airsoft! Life did get better for us! He even goes to church! lol! I didn't give up maybe that's why but...I'm not sure if they'll come up with some sort of cure for people like him, but I will always keep trying to make life better for my son!!
