[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 281771, member: 1550"] My advice is to trust your Mommy gut, which sounds like it's telling you that the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is a huge part of the problem. Why give up on that just because this psychiatrist says it's not? I found that our psychiatrist was wrong. Yes, they can be wrong. I would get that neuropsychologist evaluation. Sometimes a second neuropsychologist evaluation is very valuable. Remember that psychiatrists are not experts on Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)--it's not their field, so they tend to favor treating things like bipolar (and sometimes they are even wrong when they diagnose!). Do what YOU feel is right. If the medications aren't helping that much, then maybe it's not medications that are what will help him the most and maybe bipolar isn't the main problem at all. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) makes kids very volitile. (((Hugs))) and good luck with your hard decisions. NEVER let ANY doctor limit what you feel you should do for your child. THEY CAN BE WRONG!
