[QUOTE="katya02, post: 307700, member: 2884"] An extra detail that is typical of difficult child but puzzling and worrying ... he's back to being completely off-base about time and events. He'll come over and ask if he can eat, because he 'hasn't eaten in two days'. The next moment he'll tell me seriously that he hasn't eaten in four days. Last night he ate dinner with his girlfriend and two hours later told her he was heading out for burgers because he 'hadn't eaten all day' and was famished. She reminded him they'd just eaten and he seemed surprised, she said. All of his reports of what goes on are just that bit exaggerated or weird, so that you know it's not true; there's a kernel of truth there but the details are 'way off. If I tell him a story about something that happened, he'll respond and then two minutes later tell me a story that supposedly happened to HIM - but it's my story. And he quite seriously tells me this and expects me to respond. This could all be due to drugs except that he's been doing it since he was six years old. It waxes and wanes in intensity. I can't account for it. [/QUOTE]
