[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225654, member: 3699"] Terry & Marg (& others)- I don't want to hi-jack the thread- but I think this raises a question of mine. When I was going through the phone interview with the psychologist to see if difficult child qualified for a bipolar research study, she asked me some questions that made me think she was checking to see if he was possible on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) spectrum or if he had potential for developing a personality disorder. I'll relay some of these questions and I'm wondering- do you think if the answer is "yes" to some of these questions, would that mean possible aspergers? 1) Did difficult child have major irratibility as a young child 2) Did difficult child reach developmental milestones on time? 3) Did difficult child have sensivities to any food, clothing, sounds, or smells? 4) Between ages 4 and 5yo, did difficult child show empathy? 5) Did difficult child participate in pretend play between ages 4 and 5yo? 6) Did difficult child interact like he had made friends and play with other children his age between ages 4 and 5yo? 7) Has difficult child ever hurt an animal (I'm assuming this would indicate other types of problems) 8) What age was difficult child when I first noticed that something seemed out of the normal realm? (That is probably a standard question to narrow down a lot) My answers for difficult child were "no" for questions 1, 3, & 7, and "yes" for 2, 4, 5, & 6. He was just shy of 11yo before there was any indication of a problem- and that started as depression. [/QUOTE]
