[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 369676, member: 8617"] Welcome. My difficult child and yours have a bit in common. Mine is not Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but he does have some repetitive habits. So far Dr. sees them as benign, kind of fidgeting stuff...I guess. As for the bi polar, welcome again. Check my signature line, we have much in common. My son doesn't have full blow bi polar so we have what I like to call "bi polar lite" -----Cyclothemia aka cyclic mood disorder that is a lot like but not quite bi polar and can transition to that diagnosis should symptoms persist 2 years or worsen. My difficult child is more on the depressive side with a touch of silliness bordering more on adhd type stuff instead of manic. What has him classified in that sense is the shifts in mood. I'm willing to bet you can totally get what I am saying as far as that goes. : ) My difficult child has a touch of the ODD as well. A touch, lol who am I kidding, he is a royal pain. He doesn't have general anxiety but he major social anxiety.(are they twins that were separated at birth or what?) My difficult child was "different" from an early age but nothing we could ever pin point or prove. Took me over a decade to finally get somewhere toward the reality of it all because most people just aren't experienced in anything atypical besides adhd. When he was young his symptoms were milder so it got ignored by the pros and chalked up to delays and difficulties. My son can be bright, witty and quite entertaining when not in a mood as well. We also hit the danger zone at 11-12 ish. No harm in a second opinion if what you have isn't working. Ditto on the floundering. I finally got those inflatable arm floaties and while I empathize with you I am totally jazzed to meet you, I have a feeling we will collide a lot in here. [/QUOTE]
