[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 262020, member: 1514"] My kids are on the older end of this conversation and I am obviously MUCH older...lol. I truly believe after reading The Bipolar Child that I have been bipolar since I can remember, probably as early as a toddler. Of course, back then there was no such thing as mental illness in kids especially preschoolers. My middle son was classic ADHD without behavior problems. He never had any ODD type behaviors. He was super hyperactive and had real problems with attention. He still has problems with attention and some hyperactivity but he has learned to manage these deficits. He is contantly moving some part of his body such as jiggling his arms or legs and talks constantly. Its exhausting...lol. And trying to have a conversation with him is like trying to talk to a wall...he gets lost. But he can pull it together to take classes for work. Now Cory was not normal for any diagnosis while growing up. He confused the doctors. We really still arent sure about anything with him. Maybe he is just an idiot. He was incredibly hyper and had trouble focusing when young but he was also defiant. medications really didnt help much. They did help his handwriting. Who knows...maybe he just needed to be contained until he reached maturity. [/QUOTE]
