[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 440493, member: 1550"] You can be bipolar and not KNOW t here is a history. Often in the past "funny" relatives were hidden or not spoken of. The relative could be dead. On the other hand, the extreme frustration can also be part of the autism spectrum or both. I am very happy you are getting a neuropsychologist evaluation. A normal, happy kid does NOT talk about killing himself in anguish. Saying "I want to kill myself' without much passion in passing...it would alarm me, but not ALARM alarm me (in other words, I'd save it for the therapist). Saying it with so much emotion makes me think he is seriously miserable, in no part YOUR fault. He must have a very low frustration level and some depression (yes, kids can be deeply depressed...I was). The depressed and frustrated can lead to angry, irrational behavior and meltdowns. If he says he wants to kill somebody else I'd take it seriously too. We have had many kids on here who have tried to choke their siblings or have taken knives and held them up in threatening ways. Hugs and hang in there. [/QUOTE]
