[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 562679, member: 14356"] Trinity - Thank you. The psychiatrist and myself both suspect BiPolar (BP) based on his behaviour over the past year. If he is BiPolar (BP) then his manic episodes are agitated and angry - not happy. He is not a high energy person - he's actually very lazy for the most part but he is fidgety and the more agitated he is the more fidgety he is. I thank you for your description of your son and how you overcame the misunderstandings. My difficult child is like that. He misinterprets things, remembers conversations and events completely differently than his dad and I do. The only way I can describe it is distorted but maybe there is some auditory processing stuff going on there. I know Insane has suggested it before and I'm going to ask the psychiatrist about it as well. I did some internet research on Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and it didn't sound like difficult child but he doesn't really fit the internet description of a BiPolar (BP) person either. We just have to keep looking for answers until we find the right ones for our difficult child's. Something he said yesterday when speaking to my cousin is he is chronically thirsty lately. Can't get enough to drink. I am going to get hold of him and make an appointment with our family doctor as well to get that checked out. It could be a side effect of the Wellbutrin but it could be something else as well - like diabetes. He has lost some weight lately too but that is also a side effect of Wellbutrin. Not taking any chances though. [/QUOTE]
