[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 182140, member: 1550"] I actually do feel there is at least some bipolar there, but maybe Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) too. Stimulants can even make mood disordered kids worse. Hyperness is a big symptom in both bipolar and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). You can not assume it is ADHD alone. His symptoms are far too extreme. At any rate, I have a few site you can look at if you like. Don't be afraid. It's better to know, and get help, than to NOT know and have your child doing things like he is. I can't imagine that a competent professional would chalk all this up to ADHD/ODD. My son is on the autism spectrum and would know better than to go into somebody's house if he wasn't invited and would NEVER take underwear...yikes...and his diagnosis is more severe than ADHD/ODD. Please, please, please...for your son's sake and your own too...look beyond. It's so much better to be safe than sorry. Things escalate, as you see, if the kids are misdiagnosed. Ok, here are the sites I promised you. Both are very good.
