[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 241024, member: 1550"] Jennifer, didn't you say she's on the spectrum? I'm a little lost...sorry ;) (I'm lost a lot). If she is, medications wont' help her socialize. These kids really need text book hands on learning to socialize and many just don't do it well or don't care about making friends that much (there are both types). Even if you feel she has Aspie tendencies (and I trust Mom Gut), perhaps interventions would work better than medications. All kids on the spectrum have high anxiety and poor social skills, but medicating them doesn't solve it. They don't "get" how to socialize and often they are true loners too. I could be way off base, but just thought I'd throw that at ya. Our kids *DO* sometimes get misdiagnosed. In fact, both myself and my son were misdiagnosed for long periods of time. Frankly, all her diagnosis. together look like Spectrum stuff to me, but I'm not the doctor. I do know that Aspies often get diagnosed with bipolar. Are you on board with all those diagnosis? Ok, I'm tired. If this made no sense it's because I'm ready for bed :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
