[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no, he is not on the spectrum. He has a major league executive dysfunction problem combined with a laissez faire/ "who, me?" attitude.And it's always external forces, always someone else's problem/responsibility/mistake. Not him.[/quote] My son was only diagnosed with autism when the psychologist suggested he get another neuropsych, this time while medicated for his severe ADHD. His ADHD had masked his autism during the first evaluation he had taken as a 10 year old, unmedicated. At 17, the evaluation identified autism quite clearly. Which we strongly suspected already, given his behavior, but it was nice to get it confirmed. OP, your son is exhibiting typical ADHD/ASD behavior. The rigidity and blaming everyone but himself is typical, I'm afraid. [/quote]
