A.F.
My son is now 15 years old. Of course he was diagnosed at the age of 4 with ADD/ADHD and OCD. Never diagnosed with Bi-Polar at that time. My son had been in many different schools as well as Daycares because of his behavior. I never wanted to put him on meds becuase I didn't want him looking like a zombie. Because of the ignorance that I did not putting him on meds, my son got into things that I couldn't control and getting into ALOT of truoble. Well of course 11 years later he was dianosed with BI-Polar so I started him on meds. Now becuase of my ignorance back then my son is doing time in a juvenile facility for 1 year.
My suggestion get him on meds immediately. My son is now on Clonodine. I know it's scary, but do yourself a favor. I wish when my son was younger I would of done it.
About your question, You call Social Security and depending on how much money total monthly income is, He can receive SSI. I made too much money to take advantage of that. GOOD LUCK!!!
