<p>^ The OP later said this when asked about that direction thing: </p>

<p>Sounds like a typical teenager to me.</p>
<p>We just spent four days with son in an unfamiliar city, driving the route to his new job, practicing parking, locating the local bank, grocery store, and church.</p>
<p>Yet, this morning, a half hour before he was supposed to start work, which is a half hour drive away, he calls, asking us how to get to work.</p>
<p>Head slap. What have we been doing for the last four days?</p>
<p>Like I said, plenty experts dismissed my/husbands earlier concerns about our son. I listened to them, thinking they knew better. Boy do I regret it now. I could have saved us – and more importantly, HIM – years of anxiety, stress and disappointment. </p>
<p>Having a kid tested doesn’t mean you’re going to put him on meds. It means you have at least an answer - or a worrysome possibility to cross off your list. Either I think is worth pursuing if a child’s parent’s gut says ‘something’s not right.’</p>
<p>What I like about this parent’s board is that when a parent writes with a concern, he or she can expect to get a range of opinions from other parents. Then they can take what fits, and leave the rest.
I hope that the OP was satisfied that she was heard, and had some suggestions she could consider. That’s what the Parent’s Board and Parent’s Cafe is for. </p>
<p>I also enjoyed silversea’s response, and thought there was interesting information in every response. I hope the OP and her son are doing well.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about Levine. Very sad, if true.</p>
