[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 532655"] We thought difficult child 1 was bipolar, but he wasn't. He has PTSD from x and very high anxiety and maybe some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) thrown in. He had the symptoms of bipolar but no medications ever worked. Or if they did it was only for a few weeks at most a month before it didn't work any more. I read "The Bipolar Child" and difficult child 1's symptoms fit so well I was convinced he was bipolar. The PTSD coupled with what ever else is wrong with him looked like bipolar. He got his current diagnosis in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). The neuropsychologist there had to follow him around for 3 days before she could figure out what was going on with him. Because of x its really hard to sort out all the diagnosis of what is wrong with him. I still don't know if she got it right. I'm not sure he is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He has very low social skills in some areas and some sensory issues. Other areas he has high social skills that my other Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids don't have. My point is diagnosis aren't written in stone. Even the best psychiatrists don't caught everything, and don't be afraid to changes psychiatrists or tdocs if they aren't working well for difficult child or you. [/QUOTE]
