[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 40782, member: 2211"] Yes! I can pick a difficult child out of a crowd in no time. Also, since my own difficult child tends to gravitate towards other difficult child's my circle is quite small! LOL - Only when asked will I suggest that a kid be checked out, but I wouldn't voluntarily go up to someone and say anything. I think most parents would be defensive of an unsolicited suggestion. Years ago, my friend's daughter had all the telltale signs of BiPolar (BP), but I didn't dare make that suggestion. As I was trudging through the psychiatrist waters with my own difficult child, I could tell my friend thought I was nuts trying to find the answers for my difficult child. Flash forward 8 years and her daughter is a mess and she's only NOW getting help (though half hearted at best) she needs. I know for certain that one of my nephews has Tourette's Syndrome, another nephew has BiPolar (BP) - severely and one of my neices has something, though I can't quite put my finger on it-lol. I have suggested to my brother that he have his son checked for Tourette's Syndrome, but his stock answer is, "But he has an extraordinarily high IQ"...meanwhile the kids vocal tics were so bad that a wedding had to be stopped midway because the clergy thought someone was choking! And my nephew with BiPolar (BP), well, he and his parents are in denial and I *seriously* think he may hurt or kill someone one day so I am VERY nice to him! And my neice, it's funny, because I think she's going to be okay...she has a knack for getting herself into jams and such, but she's also capable of getting it together when she needs to. Incidentally, difficult child can spot another difficult child a mile away - UNLESS she "likes" him. [/QUOTE]
