He's 16. He's attention seeking. Messaging friends saying he's depressed and wants to end it all. While at the same time he is in the bath singing to music and laughing. Lying that he does boxing several times a week. He asked for boxing gloves and headguard for his birthday after months of nagging us. I took him to a lovely, friendly club and he only went to one session.
He tells friends that we shout at him, despite us being incredibly patient and quiet.
He went missing one night. Could see on Google maps that he was local but he couldn't care less how worried we were. He just messaged and said he was fine. Google maps showed he was just waking round the local area and sitting in the 24 hour McDonald's. When he arrived home the next morning he didn't even apologise. I had not been to bed at all.
Another night, he didn't come home and I went looking for him. Again I was alone. At 1am I found him with some friends and said "come on home, let's get a taxi".He just walked off and left me. No concern at all for my safety.
He's been out all day on a volunteer project this week and then comes homes for literally 5 mins and goes out again. No meals at home. Hardly eating anything.
Is this some sort of mania? He has ADHD and the neurodisability consultant says be definitely isn't bipolar
