[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 558726, member: 3388"] MWM, I agree that kids who are capable of working and providing for themselves shouldn't receive services. difficult child 1 appears very different now than he did when he was a child. difficult child 1 was given dual diagnoses of Asperger's and bipolar. The bipolar diagnosis is accurate but if he were being diagnosed under the new guidelines, I highly doubt he would fit the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). However, as a young child, he was much more impaired than just being sort of "quirky." His obsession with computers interfered with every aspect of his life. He had no friends, didn't seem to care about anyone or anything except for his computer. Some of his teachers thought he had ADHD. He has cousins ranging from 10 to 15 years older than he is who were diagnosed either with ADD or with ADHD. Interesting... I could go on and on and on, but, got to get going. Lots to do today!
