F. is the motherīs first child, a sibling is born a few years later.
The mother reports of a normal birth, and a normal developement in all respects.
She remembers a quiet boy who was rather selective with friends during kindergarten & school.
On one occasion during the kindergarten-period she consulted with en expert about this,
but was told not to worry.
She does not recall F. having any monogam interests, but rather a passivity,
and a general non-interest.
During his childhood F. moves a lot with his family.
The family is resident in India & Australia, and when F. is 10 the family moves to Germany.
The mother now describes how F. has problems with the new language,
and an increasing isolation from friends.
After a few years the parents separate, and the mother becomes a single parent to the two boys.
The mother now has to work, and a large responsabilaty for the little brother falls upon F.
F. confirms this, who describes, how he in his early teens more and more begins to indulge in
phantasies and day-dreams.
F. speaks of an alienation, which consisted in equal parts of the incapacitity &
the lack of motivation to seek companionship.
His school-grades drop, and F. has to repeat a class.
During this period the mother contacts a youth psychiatric concerning F.
The efforts consist partly of investigative meetings, which yield a good intelectual capacity, but
with difficulties to apply, and psychotherapeutical sessions.
At the age of 15 F. moves from home to a youth home, since his conflicts at home with the mother are
many.
During this time F. abandons school, remains at his new home, his phantasies and day-dreams,
and begins consuming alcohole.
When F. is 19 he moves by himself to Sweden, and (eventually) begins his military service.
During the last month of his miltary service he goes A.W.O.L. and has to spend a month in prison.
After this he is unemployed, and has more or less been so since then.
Only employment-market measurements and shorter job-courses are available, besides that F.,
at age 25 with ease picks up his gymnasium competence.
F. describes how he has conflicts with workplace colleages, how he feels left out, and has difficulties
in understanding social interaction.
F. describes how he regrets/misses this, but he also expresses a strong desire to be left alone.
The only work he enjoyed was when he designed web-pages.
F. has never had a love relationship with woman, nor man.
When he was younger he felt deviant/worried about this, but for a long time now lacks interest, and is
reluctant to physical contact.
