[QUOTE="Aimless, post: 613724, member: 17346"] I agree that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or even MR due to brain damage during one or several of BM's overdoses. About the only assessment tool we haven't utilized is an MRI on his brain. He has had a EEG and it was normal. His eyes are EXTREMELY light sensitive and he is visually defensive while having perfect vision. We have also considered taking him to a neuro opthamologist who can test how his brain receives visual info. All that would be well and good, buy none of it really explains the bass ackwards logic he uses to navigate this world. Its like he needs some updates in his software that would enable readjusting to what is not working for him. He is very frank in sharing with us that he just really wants what he wants. One of two things can happen... he can get what he wants or he will be mad at whomever he feels, usually me, blocked his gratifying himself. So far, we have been very fortunate that he is a bit of a chicken and has not really ventured out and acted very violently or outright rebellion. He retaliates more with withdrawl and inactivity. He can sit and look inept, looking like he's thinking and doing absolutely nothing, when actually he's waiting and watching intently. In fact, its his constantly watching us with sneaky eyes and lurking around that drives me INSANE!!! [/QUOTE]
