[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 172478, member: 1550"] Rather than looking at the medications now, I'd want him to see a neuropsychologist. This kid has some serious symptoms that are more related to the spectrum than bipolar (My kid was misdiagnosed with bipolar). I would want him to see somebody who understands the spectrum, as well as other disorders, and that is NOT a psychitrist. Few psychiatrists know much about the spectrum and often mistake it for something else (and medicate heavily, when it is interventions that work). Since bipolar medications aren't working, nor ADHD medications, I'd take him in to a different professional for a fresh eye. That's what we did, and we are so glad we did! How was his early development (speech, motor skills, interaction with peers?) How is it now? Does he have an "quirks" that can't be explained? If he is on the spectrum, even if he also has bipolar (which is possible), he will need atypical coping strategies and lots of hands on help from school and the community so that he "gets it" and can function in adulthood. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
