[QUOTE="biracialkids, post: 6974, member: 3341"] [ QUOTE ] I had lots of problems as a kid. For years and years we thought it was early onset bipolar. Now high functioning autism is being explored for me, strictly for Disability. At this time in my life, I don't care about the labels. As a child, I not only threatened to break things, I did break them. medications put an end to that, but not until adulthood.

I don't think his behaviour is the norm I just hope that when I start making calls tomorrow someone will take me seriously since our doctor doesn't. [/QUOTE]
