[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 657044, member: 1550"] But Jabber and Lil, he is a person, not a car or a microwave or a piece of paper. Can you explain to him that he IS valuable and worth investing in because he is NOT expendible? I know it's hard. I was so ashamed the first three years I took my first medication. I thought it was proof that I was "crazy." My 20's were so hard. I had to accept without any doubt that I was different and I acted out and felt rotten and not as worthy as others. But time is on your side and it was on my side too. That "lesser than" feeling just because I had to take a pill wore off and now I"m grateful that there is medication for mood disorders and I wish there had been more help for young people with neurological impairments back in the day. Eventually I think he'd see it as a good thing. If he is on the spectrum, medication is not really needed so that would not be an issue. He just needs to know that getting help means he IS valuable and worthwhile or nobody would bother to want to help him. Does that sound better? [/QUOTE]
