[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 289113, member: 1550"] What, he isn't manic in my opinion. He is anxious, which is a huge red flag for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Again, not saying it is, but see a neuropsychologist. I've never EVER heard of a neuropsychologist saying "he has to be stable..." I'd find another one. That one sounds like a yahoo :sick:. Manic is not when the child is the most agitated. That's fear related acting out. The more anxious an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid is, the more they pace, or vocalize in strange ways, or stimulant (rock or bang their heads) or seeks stimuli by bouncing or squeaking or doing whatever makes them feel better. A BiPolar (BP) kid most likely wouldn't do this because BiPolar (BP) kids have more knowledge of social norms. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do not until they are taught or until they mature--if they are high functioning enough to "get it" (sort of) on their own. Sadly, it's common for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids to get thrown around at school. They act so strange and seem to act out for no reason that a teacher can understand so they chalk it up to defiance and get livid. I was very lucky that L. never acted out at school, however there is a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified boy who goes to school with my daughter, and when he loses is (because he does), the entire school whispers about what a bad boy he is and how "mentally ill." He's not mentally ill. He's autistic and the teachers have not a clue how to handle him. He has a 1-1 aide who is often so bad with him that I cringe. She thinks that normal behavioral methods such as time outs or charts will work with him. The charts work sometimes, when he is calm. The time outs scare him so he goes into a rage and throws his desk (not that uncommon really) and kicks and fights so that he's not isolated or put in a corner, which he can't tolerate. I've spoken to his father, just sort of sitting back and listening and he has a good handle on his usually sweet and very bright son. But he refuses to let him go into any sort of special classroom and the kids tease him at times. He, like most Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, can not control his frustration and goes ballistic on the kids. I'm sure he looks manic, but he's not. He's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
