[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 351923, member: 1991"] It would fit. I can't see why bipolar kids would isolate themselves like this, or necessarily be socially immature merely because of the bipolar. But I can see how autism could be seen as bipolar, especially with the way their moods can change apparently without reason. But there is always a reason. It's just tat with autism, those reasons are not immediately obvious to us. As for the computer network as a way to make social contact - difficult child 3 belongs to an online group called Gaia. It's similar only there's a heavier fantasy component, although it is carefully moderated and supervised. The kids do not use their real identities which protects them a lot more. And no photos - instead, you have an avatar which you dress yourself. You pay for the avatar's clothing and props by earning points from logging on and other activities. Lots of games, puzzles etc. Marg [/QUOTE]
