[QUOTE="DDD, post: 464919, member: 35"] Just want to add my welcome. Fortunately I have not dealt with those complex issues although I have raised a 20 yr. old with multiple dxs. He has Aspergers, ADHD and has also been diagnosis'd with Schizoaffective Disorder and BiPolar (BP). I'm not convinced on the later two but he is stable on the medications and is functioning fairly well. Most of us have had difficulty finding the best help for our difficult child's. Many have turned to Nationally known Children's Hospitals who specialize in child and adolescent psychiatric evaluations. in my humble opinion finding experts who you thoroughly trust is extremely important. Also, many of us have gotten and advocate for complete neuro/psychological evaluations to supplement care by a child/adolescent psychiatrist with lots of experience and compassion. I'm sorry you all have to face such complicated and sad circumstances. on the other hand the sooner you know what you are dealing with, the sooner he will have the best support system. Good luck.
