[QUOTE="Steely, post: 161501, member: 3301"] Welcome..........Boy you sound like me when my difficult child was your difficult children age. I had SO many tears over the continued cycle of failure his life seemed to encompass. It does get better.....but slowly. My son tested with a NonVerbal Learning Disorder - which is very close to Aspergers, which is very close to Autism.....but all quite different. There are so many complexities to the brain. Has your son had a neuropsychologist evaluate him? Truthfully bipolar cannot be "tested". It is more a pattern throughout the person's life. My son was not officially diagnosis with bipolar until he was 12 - but I knew it since he was, oh, about 2? Docs put difficult child on Clonidine [I]after[/I] he was stable on Lithium, and the 2 medications together have been amazing. We trialed Clonidie without the Lithium, and he became manic. In my experience, Lithium has been the foundation for difficult children progress - but not a cure - as all are medications that work well. The kiddos still have to work through therapy or hard knocks how to live successful lives. [/QUOTE]
