[QUOTE="Lil, post: 644489, member: 17309"] I know ODD is pretty much kids. Frankly, he ticks most of the boxes of ODD, other than being too old, but I know it's for kids, that wasn't the point. The point is he'll just use whatever as an excuse. I guess I don't see it as mattering because it won't matter to him, except that it will give him an excuse to be a waste of space. It'll be "poor pitiful me" and nothing will change. He's an adult. He's almost 20. We can't make him DO anything. And I guess,[I] I[/I] just don't think he's disabled. I don't think he "can't help it". I think he just needs to grow up! Or maybe I don't want to know that he's had real a problem all along, because that [I]does[/I] make it our fault he's like this. Again, he really wasn't a difficult child until he was 17. We had no reason then, and still don't have any reason, to suspect anything besides pot or it's synthetic. Now that he's almost 20, we can't "have him" drug tested. I know it's [I]not[/I] an alcohol problem, he's terrified of needles, and he wouldn't take narcotics when they were prescribed and legal because he didn't like how they made him feel. That's all we've got. [/QUOTE]
