My 16 year old son thrown some books belongs to his classmate in canal. Some other person saw this incident and brought the books. my son denied this act and telling as usual that he do not know who thrown.

Such incidents happen on an average of once in every 6 months. In no case, no condition, no punishment could make my son accept his mistake.

Previously 6 years back we got psychological test. In that they decided that he is suffering with ADHD.

Around 3 years back another counselor diagnosed him as having conduct disorder.

In 8 years we changed his school 3 times because of complaints from school teachers.

Could anybody guide me. We are very much upset

if you are here in NY ( the New York State that is located in the USA as opposed to New York's in other countries) no throwing books in a canal and then saying you didnt do it is not a symptom of DID.

there are many different reasons why a person (child or adult throws) things.....rocks, books, clothing, soda /beer cans, paper products, ......into canals, lakes, streams and then denies they have done so. Some of those reasons are fear of getting into trouble, peer pressure, anger, and others including what he has been diagnosed as conduct disorder and adhd.

in simple terms DID is where a person has more than one special type of alternate personalities that have their own way of being. example if this was an alternate personality taking control to throw things in a canal there would be other accompanying symptoms related to dissociative issues and the problem would not be just behavior problems. heres where you can read about what DID is here in America...http://forums.psychcentral.com/disso...s-dsm-5-a.html

if you think your son has DID you will need to contact his treatment providers. there are special physical and mental tests that his treatment providers can do to diagnose whether he has DID or any other mental or physical health issues that share the same symptoms as DID.

No, this is not a DID symptom. Your son might truly have some type of memory gap, but if he is in the range of ADHD, conduct disorder and similar issues, there are a bunch of other possible reasons for a memory gap involving acting out types of behavior.

It's more likely that this is not a true memory lapse, but a form of telling himself a lie often enough until he believes it as truth.

Can you tell us more about your son's symptoms, behaviors and attempts at treatment? What seems to help him feel better and/or be more stable?
