[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193419, member: 1550"] Hi there. Have a few questions to ask you that can help us help you. First of all, a very young child CAN have bipolar--it is often misdiagnosed as ADHD or ODD or both. ODD rarely stands alone. Secondly, was your child also observed for possible high functioning autistic spectrum disorder? Ever see a neuropsychologist or Psychiatrist (with the MD?) I wouldn't trust a plain therapist to diagnose a child. JMO Ok: questions: 1/ Are there are mood disorders (including depression) or substance abuse (including alcoholism) on either side of your child's family tree? 2/How was his early development? Did he do these things on time or appropriately: speech, eye contact with strangers, toy play, imaginative play, socialize with peers, potty? Any weird obsessions or strange recurrent movements such as arm flapping, lip smacking, hitting himself, rocking, etc. Is he maybe, on the other hand, overly precocious, an early reader, does he talk like a "Little Professor?" Any overly obsessive interests? You may want to do a signature like I did below. Welcome! [/QUOTE]
