[QUOTE="momtom, post: 710986, member: 21696"] Hi, I new to this site, along with new to the diagnosis of 20 year old adopted son. His therapist has said he has ASPD, and there is little hope for him. He for the most part is a good kid, doesn't take drugs or alcohol, but has a history of stealing. This time 3 cameras, three events, one from a person at a seminar the other from college. 7 months later Police 20 of them show up at out door to arrest him. We leave him in jail for 2 nights to teach him a lesson- that was before seeing his therapist who has seen him since he was 12. Son was adopted at 4.5 and has always had a I know better attitude. The stealing came when he wanted iPods, iPhones in his teens. He is charming, handsome on one hand and in other ways dense- like a missing link somewhere in his brain when it comes to logic. The only time we saw some self pride in his achievements was after attending a military style camp called devil Pups. He appeared to have changed, showed compassion, emotion sincerely. That was 5 years ago. two years ago unbeknown to us he was let off after shoplifting. we never knew about it until one of his friends told us about it. He goes to court next week, hired an attorney and will try and get it taken care of with no record. Misdemeanor still screws up your future. We know he will do its again if left o his own demise. We are thinking the Military with it's constant discipline, direction may the best next step for him. I read all your horrific experiences and know this is all coming if we get him off his criminal charges. He just can't change that easily. What have you all found that did help?? [/QUOTE]
