[quote=Anonymous]I was not diagnosed with any development disorder, but I struggled from my early to late teens. School and life became harder to deal with, and I developed some behaviour problems. My friends seemed to manage ok, so I acted like everything was ok, yet internally it was chaos. My parents seemed oblivious to what was going on, but there must have been signs, especially one of them. I think this is a fairly common problem at that age, and he will grow out of it with support. Knowing there was others struggling with the same thing would have made a difference for me and support from my parents. Neither seemed to be available so some of my behaviour problems lasted longer than they probably should have. Support him the best you can and encourage him to talk things out. [/quote]
