[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 369844, member: 1963"] Also, the older spectrum kids get, the harder it becomes to distinguish exactly WHERE on the spectrum they are. For example, I was diagnosis with autism only about seven years ago. I'm fifty! I learned over the years so much about playing "normal", that no expert can really tell just which spectrum disorder I have. I joke about being "Aspie lite" since autism runs so rampant in my family, but some specialists have told me that I'm not an aspie, but rather high functioning autistic. At this point it is kinda moot. My mother is definitely an Aspie as is her father and her brother. My (likely) father was bipolar. I'm on the spectrum and also bipolar, but the mood disorder could be part and parcel of the autism. What I know is that kids with these disorders can do better than one could ever predict, and that I do well medicated for bipolar with the sole difference being that I cannot tolerate modern antipsychotic medications and have to take Haldol instead. I also have a condition called dysgraphia. I can barely write but I type 90 words per minute [/QUOTE]
