[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 223432, member: 3419"] There is something in The Bipolar Child that talks about pain sensitivity. In all honesty, I wondered about and disagreed with-some of the Papoloses'conclusions because some of the traits sounded more Aspie to me. Just thought I'd throw that out to confuse you more, FFC. :) But it is very confusing, and the younger the age, the harder it is. Don't be too hard on yourself it you don't get answers right away, and if you don't have it all memorized. doctors and researchers are finding out more every day. difficult child came up with-an interesting literal response this a.m. I was writing Christmas cards and wanted to send some to his after-school teachers but could not recall their names, because they are referred to as "Miss Pat," etc. I am really bad with-names and especially when the teachers or aides have the kids call them by their initials, it makes it harder for me to remember their real names, especially when I'm rushing in the morning. I was digging through the directory, and said, "What's the blonde lady's name, the one who's my age?" "Mrs. T." "What's her REAL name?" "Just Mrs. T!" (getting upset now) "Okay, is that T as in Terry?" "NO! Her name is NOT Terry!" Sigh. (Some of the cards went out with-initials on them ... the rest I found on the online directory.) The other day, a car let me into a lane during rush hour traffic. Normally, I wave when people do that. However, it gets dark early now, and people can't see through my windows, so I don't bother. Holy cow. difficult child had a fit. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAVE WHEN THEY LET YOU IN!!!" You'd have thought I'd just robbed a bank. Sheesh! If he could say these things in a normal tone of voice it would help my nerves ... [/QUOTE]
