[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 333760, member: 3704"] There's no question that our difficult child has both feet firmly planted on the spectrum and easy child is actually in the nearby neighborhood. There is no Bipolar Disorder on either side as far back as we know, but there are Aspie traits galore - including husband and myself. My grandfather was an electrical engineer, my Dad was a meterologist/mathematician/computer programmer who studied worldwide weather patterns for the military in the 1960's. Can we say total nerdom? LOL . In my opinion both guys come by this naturally - but our families are really kind of boring in terms of emotional fluctuations -they just aren't there at all. Fluctuations or emotions, actually. Has difficult child's care sent me over the top? Well, let me just say that in one of his many hospitalizations I was surrounded by docs in the hallway drilling me and peppering me with demands/questions/etc. I was pretty much speechless and overwhelmed at that point. difficult child's psychiatrist stepped forward, took my hand, and shooed everyone away. He said, "All of this is too much, and I think that you need some help. I suggest these two antidepressants, and I'm happy to call your doctor". What a lovely man, and I think that says it all....
