For what it's worth, I'd seek a second opinion regarding your son's condition. The use of a "personality disorder" seems inappropriate in the case of a 15 year-old. Adolescence is a tough time as it is; throw in a mood disorder or a tendancy toward some "personality style," and being a teenager can be downright miserable.
The human brain hasn't even completely wired itself by that age. While I think you should respect who your son "is," (or "is becoming") there is a difference between being creatively introverted and morbidly withdrawn or anti-social. Seek another opinion.
My best,
Darby
