[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 231640, member: 1436"] I have often wondered if my difficult child is high functioning. He does display some of the symptoms of BiPolar (BP), but he has the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traits, the social cues, and the communication problems prevalent in Aspies. At 20, he is slowly progressing but is still behind his peers in social skills. He has not taken any medications in at least two years for BiPolar (BP), and although he does have some situational depression, he is not clinically depressed. He rages when he is overstimulated or anxious about social situations. Thinking back, most of his rages while younger happened because of social events---bd parties, holidays, sports. I had him observed by a team at school, but they did not see the signs. I never approached any medical diagnosis because by the time we got to a diagnosis. he was already a teen. [/QUOTE]
