[QUOTE="slsh, post: 345544, member: 8"] difficult child was my first healthy child and he was just a miracle to me. He was a dream as a baby. Ate and slept, ate and slept. Grew like a weed, hit those developmental milestones early across the board. I was in awe of him. The terrible 2's hit at about 18 months and things went downhill from there. My first inkling that something was off was when I picked up that positive reinforcement consistently provoked negative behaviors, and negative reinforcement was a good thing to difficult child. He was probably about 3 when the alarm bells really started ringing, but it wasn't until he was 6 that professionals really started hearing what we were telling them. We started therapy with him, consistently, at age 4. He was diagnosed as bipolar at age 6. I'm convinced he's somewhere on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) spectrum as well, very mildly but still there. [/QUOTE]
