He does have many good qualities. He's a fantastic student, he loves to draw, everyone sees a smart, fun-loving kid. We have had many in-depth conversations with his previous caregivers and all say the same thing, he's sweet and innocent outside the home. He's had many loving guardians, including ourselves, but he always has the thought that he doesn't deserve it, so he tries to screw it up with his behavior. He has exhibited the EXACT same behavior with every single person...to the T.

After speaking with the psychologist and psychiatrist he's working with now, they believe he does in fact have positive symptoms as well. I have never noticed this...Should I have been paying more attention?

I will also ask your question that you posed to me again, "at what point does typical teenage behavior turn into schizophrenia?" I have no idea, but I'm assuming any doctor with half a brain would know the difference between the two.

By the way, the doctors have just put him on Clozapine. Does anyone have any experience with a person who's on this medication?
