[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 236508, member: 1550"] I'm glad you're going to the U. of C. and hope you do see a neuropsychologist. Bipolar and high functioning autism totally mimic each other, and are often mistaken for one another. A neuropsychologist is more apt to be able to sort out what is what than a Psychiatrist (even one with the MD). Psychiatrists are not that hot diagnosing neurological problems and tend to blame mental health issues for everything. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they aren't. I am leery of the mental health system and diagnoses given out since both me and my son have been wrongly diagnosed so much. After a while you start to not believe anyone...the U. of C. has a great rep. I used to live in the Chicago burbs. In general university hospitals tend to be more on the cutting edge of research and I love them. neuropsychologist evaluations are much more thorough then other ones, that's why I like them. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
