[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 416661, member: 3419"] Oh, I see where they're going with-this. You want calm and routine. Also, you can get special services for the items mentioned above. Some things are not covered. You want to make sure the diagnosis you get is covered under special svcs. For the record, as we know it now in the yr 2011, (no kidding, because all of this could change in 50 yrs) bipolar is chemical, Asperger's and autism are neurological, ADHD is neurological and can be adapted to later in life, or may be a sign of bipolar or Asperger's, and ODD is an adjective that describes behavior tied into those as well, so it can be either or both chemical or neurological. Kind of reminds me of the time we had a Guyanese student living with-us and we went to sign her up for HS. They told her to fill out a form with-her race. She had no idea what to check off--Asian, Black, Caucasian, Hispanic, etc. She guessed Hispanic because Guyana is so close to the Latin American countries. She said "What difference does it make?" I asked the school receptionist which race received the most $ and services. She said, "I don't know. That's a good question." I told her I'd like to find out and that would be the box we checked. (FWIW, she was Asian, because her ancestry was E. Indian. Argh!) We never got any services. She was just a "normal" student. [/QUOTE]
