[QUOTE="klmno, post: 233217, member: 3699"] I asked my therapist today about the controversy/fine line between asbergers and BiPolar (BP) diagnosis's. Actually, I told her I was asking because I don't see why there appears to be such a fine line if the causes are that different. She said 1) the younger the child the less clear things are and neuropsychologist testing can vary from time to time with BiPolar (BP) and psychotic patients and 2) a whole lot of people don't "fit" neatly in diagnosis criteria for one thing or another so they are given the diagnosis that most closely resembles the symptoms they are exhibiting and sometimes that can change. That's just her opinion but she's a licensed (phd) psychologist who interned partly at psychiatric hospital and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for kids. I think there might be truth in it, personally. [/QUOTE]
