[QUOTE="totoro, post: 355876, member: 3155"] Marg always is able to word it so everyone is able to understand it!!! WHich is so nice. My daughter has BiPolar (BP) but also has Apsergers which is likely going to be changed to High-Functioning Autism (HFA). She also has been tested as having ADHD, she is very HYPER and unfocused. She has never been able to socialize. The problem with a lot of the diagnosis's and our kids is that the Doctors would like to put them in a neat and tidy little box but none of the symptoms are apply to every child. My daughter did make eye contact, she did not lose her speech she did not line things up... so they would never diagnosis her as on the spectrum at an early age. Also most of her SX could be attributed to her other diagnosis's most of our kids are puzzles and they vary... it is almost impossible to sit here and say ALL kids on the spectrum do this or that. Same for kids who are BiPolar (BP) or any other diagnosis. Just like the medication issues as well. My Daughter does on a tiny bit of a stimulant. Just like Marg's kids. I believe the same one. Another huge thing is the difference between boys and girls. They are finally starting to realize how huge the differences are. My husband and I had to laugh in a sad way watching the girl in Florida because K would have done the same thing... except she would have also followed her Hallucinations into the woods to go explore nature. K "seems" unlike most of the kids on the Spectrum in her classes. But when tested and when you look at the facts now that she is stable on medications it can be considered. And heck it gets her more services at this point. She is basically a BiPolar (BP) kid morphed with an Autistic kid if you will! LOL Research and then research more. Ask the parents here they know SO much. I would be lost with out this place. :) but remember to follow your heart and take your time... this is a marathon. [/QUOTE]
