[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 416766, member: 3419"] So, easy child is studying psychology and instead of getting into the "I have this disease-a-week" syndrome, she's getting into the "Let's diagnosis difficult child" syndrome. :) In addition to Asperger's, she suggested cyclothymia. I admit, I've thought of this before, having read all of your notes and comments about your kids who have it. But does he have to have the way-up part? When he's good he's just "normal" good and happy. Which is rare. I think the inability to go to sleep is more due to his Concerta not wearing off. He's usually cranky and withdrawn, more like atypical depression or dysthymia. I really don't think this is all Asperger's, because I've met so many Aspies and many of them are centered and happy, albeit socially awkward and kind of nerdy. He's got something else. Just floating ideas out there ... (I know we'll probably never know, but easy child got me thinking about it again ...) [/QUOTE]
