I'm coming to the realization that there may be more wrong with Ricky than I first thought... Or even second thought... He is diagnosed with CF and bipolar disorder at this point but I wonder if there's something else going on because we just can't seem to get through to him on proper social boundaries etc. For instance he goes right up to complete strangers and starts conversations etc. And when other kids tease him or whatever he thinks they are his friends. And his peer and sibling relations are just impossible. He just doesn't "get" things that he should get.

His current school placement (a private school that the school district is paying to put him in, since they have no appropriate program) is also awful, so we are exploring (with the help of the school district) other options.
