[quote=Anonymous]I had a classmate in college who had just been baptized, but apart from that, he was a perfectly lovely person. Is your son the kind of be socially awkward, or does he have Asperger's? Perhaps the church gives him a ready-made social structure. It might explain his new-found enthusiasm, as people with Asperger's and HFA tend to get very focused on their subject of interest. You could point him to other social groups and activities he could join. Adolescence and young adulthood are when certain psychiatric disorders are most likely to manifest. My friend's little sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a teenager, but there's also bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, etc... So I would continue to observe him and if you can identify a set of symptoms that concern you, gently persuade him to get evaluated.Otherwise... well, there are worse cults than the Catholic Church, OP :-)[/quote]
