[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695075, member: 1550"] Frankly, id have a neuropsychological evaluation (which is NOT with a neurologist, but with a neuropsychologist). They are the gold standard at least in the U.S. You can find them at university hospitals. Nueropsychologists test the child in every area and take about ten hours. Your kids both remind me if my son, who was misdiagnosed with bipolar. Actually the speech delays remind me of high functioning autism. They look ADHD, struggle in life without the proper interventions early on and can get considerably better, but not on bipolar medications or with bipolar treatment. If you want a more accurate diagnosis, which leads to more suitable treatment, Id get an evaluation. My son is 23 now and is polite, funny snd easygoing (I never thought I'd ever say this). He is medication free, working, and doing really well. Your son obviously did not get helpful treatment, and its not your fault. But your daughter can be better evaluated and have a better shot. Autistic spectrum is so often misdiagnosed. Yet it is treatable and neurological rather than psychological. It also is very hereditary. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
