[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 424986, member: 3419"] Welcome! So sorry you had to find us. ExhaustedinUtah makes an interesting distinction: that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids' manipulation is not edgy or clever. It's in your face and obvious, most of the time. From your description, (and from your Mommy gut) it does sound like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), especially the social skills portion, and the trigger portion. You would know the difference by now. I would find a neuropsychologist and do a different kind of testing. Make sure that the person has actually worked with-kids who have had either/both bipolar or Asperger's and knows the difference in real life, not just textbook diagnosis. Also, from my own prejudice and point of view, he sounds a lot like my son. He can get A's when he wants. Which isn't very often. Mostly, he couldn't care less and the teachers and we, his parents, are tearing out our hair. [/QUOTE]
