T's problems were from birth. He had a screeching high pitch cry that made you want to rip out your hair. He was rigid, never slept. (I mean that literally) I could make a long list. I worried for a long time if he was severely autistic.
N's really became promonent around 18mos. It just grew worse as she grew older. It didn't help that she also has low blood sugar, which only exacerbated the symptoms of BiPolar (BP). I stepped out of denial when she was 11 or 12. She didn't get any real help til her threats of suicide at 15.
Interesting topic.
