[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 50062, member: 1514"] My objective in starting this whole thread was to open a dialog so we could discuss what I had noticed happening on the board. I dont think I am alone in noticing the trend here in ...how can I put this...advocating a bipolar or autistic diagnosis. It seems like lately everyone who comes to the board is advised that whatever symptoms their child is exhibiting must be bipolar or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) depending on who is answering them. The board is slowly turning into a two disorder board instead of the multitude of disorders that are out there. I used to tell people all the time to come here when I met them and they had kids with ADHD, ODD, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), CP, Tourettes, and you name it many other things. I was very actively involved in childrens mental health locally. I still meet people online and tell them about this site but I now only refer them if I know they have bipolar or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids. Seems to me we have got off track but thats not my call. [/QUOTE]
