[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 2020024, member: 9063"] I don't know whether he was judging or not but single parent households are actually a bigger societal issue than mental health. There was a recent study that 97% of juvenile offenders that re-offend are from single parent homes vs. the 3% from a home with two parents. That statistic is alarming and telling. The family unit in our society has suffered a total breakdown. There are so many factors that play into this issue but it deserves a look. I saw this from my friends as well. They tried to give him routine but he probably could have used more structure. Having never been in their shoes or having to deal with a child with Asperger's, I tried not to judge. He was definitely far more difficult than their other child and would be challenging regardless. I do agree with the general sentiment that our kids are not given enough structure and discipline these days. [/QUOTE]
