[QUOTE="totoro, post: 117128, member: 3155"] Hi Jennifer- I would research... don't set your mind on any one thing... every thing is subjective!!! Everyone here has their opinions. I have been told my child is everything... sure. When you really look at all of the disorders the symptoms do overlap. You need to watch the symptoms and how they manifest over time in combination not just one or two... but many. For a long period of time... K has quite a few Autism spectrum symptoms but she is off the charts with BiPolar (BP) symptoms hence the overlap... and they do overlap... when you do read. Also a lot of her Autism Spectrum Symptoms are also her Sensory symptoms also... so what do you do with that??? They are her Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) diagnosis... So she is not considered Autistic... by the experts... And yes she is withdrawn... as am I... I am BiPolar (BP) also. I was diagnosis'd Cyclothymic but they think it is BiPolar (BP)-I, now. K has lots of anxiety and shuts down also... especially after school... we have to have a lengthy period before school just to make it to school... and after school lots of time to relax, unwind... before anything serious. Snacks, park, steamer, fun computer time, a little tv... something they like to help them relax. So it is all subjective... their is no exact science.... I would suggest reading ALOT... and asking a lot of questions about your family and anything else you can think of. I have a heavy history of BiPolar (BP) in my family. Good luck and welcome.
