I’m at a loss. My son, 13, has Aspergers, severe adhd, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, depression (the last two caused by trauma he experienced prior to us adopting him). Since he turned 13 it’s like something has possessed him! He’s so angry, so mean, so hurtful. I’m homeschooling him as school got to be too much and with as disrespectful as he became, he was on his way to expulsion. This is NOT my son’s typical behavior (well until age 13 anyway). He’s always had the kindest heart, best personality, and so empathetic towards everyone. Any thoughts or recommendations on how to help him deal with whatever is going on? He’s seeing a psychiatrist now and we’ve had him in therapy since we adopted him. It’s like nothing is helping anymore. I love him more than anything and it breaks my heart I can’t help him. 💔
