[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son doesn't have autism.
Your son isn't bipolar  or any other disorder.
Your son is like the vast majority of 17/18  year old boys I have met, all of whom grew up into great men.

OP's son sounds nothing like my 17 year old son, who has always been reasonably socially astute. His friends are not like this either. Done some boneheaded things along the way, sure, but they try hard not to do anything that could invite mockery. I'm not clear on why people are getting down on the OP. I think it's a great idea to work with him on these issues before he goes off to college.  I'm guessing a lot of you don't have high schoolers?

I also think everyone talking about their clueless DHs would feel some gratitude to a parent who realized their child had a self awareness problem and tried to help him wok on it. [/quote]

The irony.

Clearly your son doesn't get his maturity and self-awareness from you.[/quote]

Again, do you have high schoolers?

I certainly don't take credit for my son's  personality or the things he's good at, but I have stepped in to help when he or his siblings have started down what seems to be a bad path. I'd hope most parents would have enough empathy for their kids, and enough recall of how fraught the teen years can be to want to do the same. I assume OP is not actually telling her son that he's arrogant, delusional, and average but instead is just seeking anonymous advice on how to help him to stop acting in a way that can come back to haunt him. What's wrong with that?[/quote]

Because I don't think like you, I can't have high schoolers? Again with the irony.

I do have  high schoolers as well as older children, I assure you OP's kid is not an anomaly, and those kids turn out fine, kids with parents like you and  tend to have issues down the road.

You can tell what kind of parent I am from two posts on the internet? And you are telling me my children will have issues? And you are acting as if you are superior to both me and the OP? 
[/quote]

You are bothe rude , condescending overly defensive and overly involved. That style of parenting leads to overly anxious kids and adults that can't function independently of mom and dad.

As for superiority you were ready to  proclaim anyone that didn't agree with your view could not possibly have a  high schooler.[/quote]

OP is none of those things. She came here concerned about her son, tried to set the stage for readers by describing his behaviors, and the usual nasty nellies jumped in to tell her she's an awful parent.

OP this does not sound like every teen boy out there as others have claimed. It's odd. Maybe talk to his school, see if they have any thoughts?[/quote]
