[quote=Anonymous]Someone recommended the book "Yes, Your Teen IS Crazy". I've read it and suggest you read it as well. There's more touchy/feely/anecdotal stories than I like but it is grounded in research which I like. My DS (an 8th grader with ADHD/anxiety/LDs) sounds a lot like your DS. It can be very tough to distinguish between what's normal teenage behavior and what isn't. This book helped me re-think my approach and better recognize the differences. My anecdote: Crazy teenaged DS was out walking the dog when I got home from work and I didn't realize it. When I came in, I locked the door behind me. Some time later, crazy teenage DS comes back from the walk and can't get in. He's pounding on the door, ringing the doorbell, etc. Younger DS jumps up, runs down the stairs and lets crazy teenage DS in. Instead of saying 'thanks' to younger DS, crazy teenage DS says "Next time go faster". [/quote]
