[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 559023, member: 1550"] I think you should have him re-evaluated by a neuropsychologist. To me it sounds rather extreme for ADHD, but you can't know unless you test him again. One word on the bra incident. I would not have told him that it was a joke. As a woman, if some man snaps my bra, that is a sexual gesture that is invading my privacy and can get him into a lot of trouble later on if he thinks he can just do stuff like that and get away with it. I don't know why that particular girl is one he shouldn't be near, but that only makes it more insulting that he did it. I would try to talk to him about respecting girls. If you son had done that to my spunky daughter, he would have had a bloody nose and a kick in his rather private area. But I'm assuming he would not do that to somebody like my daughter. I wish you and your son lots of luck. It sounds like he is going to have trouble in his life if you can't sort out what is wrong and help him reign it in and often our kids do not respond to simply talking. medications can help sometimes...sometimes they make things worse. It's a crapshoot, but it is one worth pursuing...AFTER a complete evaluation. A question: Does your friend know how to socialize appropriately with his SAME AGE peers? If he does have long term, good friends, it probably IS ADHD. If not, could be a lot of stuff beyond ADHD. Keep us posted! :) [/QUOTE]
