[QUOTE="tessaturtle, post: 340773, member: 3510"] I'm glad I looked at this post before posting my own! lol I was going to post the exact link that Sharon did. I heard the NPR story on my home from work today. And I do have to say, I have mixed thoughts about this. I do see what you are saying Janet. But I also have this fear that this will now add more fuel to the fire of those that still disbelieve that kids can have Bipolar. I also fear that now more kids will be diagnosed this new Temper disorder rather than Bipolar and have a tougher time convincing their school district to accomodate their special needs. My last (well for now LOL) thought is that again, back to those who don't believe or understand our difficult child's, now with a name like that "Temper Dysregulation Disorder"....it may bring to mind "temper tantrums" and back to that old thinking of blaming the parent.
