I keep going back to this in my mind as something I would like to see. I would like to see a copy of Dylan's cell records for a month, just to get a bigger picture of his patterns. I myself, as well as my oldest, goes through "spurts." We may talk or text extensively, then we may have a week where we don't text or talk to anyone. I noted that this week, my daughter is usually always on the phone, FB, texting, something but this week it was like she was in a chill mode where all she did was play games on her iPod. Sometimes we feel like talking, and sometimes we are just into something else at the time. I would just like to see the behavioral pattern when it comes to him and communication with others.
I do think that if his cell's battery was dead that he may not have used the land line to call anyone because of maybe not knowing the numbers by heart. Doesn't account for the iPod, but if it's battery were dead also, then it may. My kid tends to run down all devices to the point of having none left before she charges them. I keep thinking if Dylan wanted to get there more hurried than waiting for MR, and his devices were all drained, would he sit around and wait for them to charge, or just toss 'em in his bag, thinking he will charge them up when he gets to his destination.
