[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695090, member: 1550"] Hi. He could have both too. I hope not. My son got most of his help first in speech, social skills classes and physical therapy and occupational therapy, then early special education at age three. He had continuing help all through school. By high school he was behaving pretty normal and was mainstreamed and then school helped get my son a job and services when he graduated. medications never did squat for my son, except make him lethargic and crabby and hungry. That type of help can happen for your daughter. Your son can still qualify for community supports/disability. My son had rages from hell...until he stopped. Totally. And he was very late in talking and so hyper we always said he hung from the rafters. He hated change and would scream as if we were killing him. He is adopted and he is black and I'm white. In shopping malls, as he kicked me and shouted for help I'm surprised nobody called the cops because it must have seemed as if I was kidnapping someone else's kid...lol. Luckily for me, there were no cell phones back then. I stopped taking him to the mall! He is one of my heroes. He was diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at age 11 qland his whole life changed as soon as the school got the right diagnosis and he was weaned off the medications. Your kids may need medications. Mine doesnt, but they sure put him on a lot of them. His psychiatrist continued to insist he had bipolar even when I told him that son was doing great on no medications and had no more mood swings. I think the medications caused the mood swings in our case. Remember, all kids are different! [/QUOTE]
