[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 157773, member: 1991"] Missy, I think your idea to get her thoroughly evaluated is a very good one. Also keep Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in mind - it can also have a hereditary component (I can see it on both sides of our family, going back a few generations) and it can also look like a mix of ODD, ADHD, anxiety, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), etc. A Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid also can be quite sociable, although inappropriate with it or inept in other ways. A need to do things in a certain way, or to have things just so, is also often seen in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). The trouble is, it can look like bipolar (and other things) but the treatment is quite different. That's why a thorough evaluation is needed. With husband, I wouldn't discuss the possible hereditary component, unless HE suggests it. However, if Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) comes up, you can mention the theory that it is connected to high IQ in the family - I suspect husband would like that! Marg [/QUOTE]
