My DS is reasonably quiet, and prone to grunting but when he does speak is funny and very knowledgeable. He's polite and caring and shy keeps himself to himself. He rarely meets up with friends, but it seems to suit them all that way. When they do get together they like to go on night walks. These are more innocent than they sound. None of them smoke or take drugs, or have girlfriends but they do like to deplete try the contents of my alcohol collection.
He's very sensitive and worries about consumerism and the world ending due to climate change. He was vegan for a while, but I struggled with it. Now he's vegetarian and avoids milk, but hasn't tried to convert the rest of us.
Everything got too much for him last year at he dropped out of 6th form.He's now doing Btec and Alevel maths and isn't being academically challenged which annoys me, but at least he's happy. He spends a lot of time playing guitar (beautifully) and is generally adorable. His bedroom is spotless and he does all his own laundry. He loves long showers in the morning when I need to get ready for work
, and blow dries his hair every day. 
This is the same boy who was "challenging" and "wilful", had huge, destructive melt downs and was excluded several times in primary school.
I'm very, very proud of him.
