[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 428326"] To clarify, Kiddo's diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) does not override her other diagnosis's - it's an addition that is likely linked to why she reacts atypically to so many medications across across all classes. Her bi-polar is questionable, but since the medications that do help are only covered with that diagnosis, we're not messing with it. Many things can be co-morbid and/or mimic, and considering the medications she was on weren't helping and they were just wanting to trial this that and the other on her, I wanted to be certain that she was being treated for the correct condition(s). These medications can have some serious side effects, and the psychiatrist she started with diagnosis'd her with just ADHD and ODD based on spending 15 minutes with us every 3 months. I've had to push like [bleep] just to get minimal testing to firm up her diagnosis's, even after her stay in the psychiatric hospital. [/QUOTE]
