[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 60797, member: 1550"] husker, people who have gone to my bipolar support group, where I used to be active, told me EXACTLY what your daughter told you. The voices bother them when people aren't even there to speak and that the medications soften the voices. Most say they can't get rid of them for good. Remember, this is a small amount of bipolar folks and schizoaffectives that I once knew, and that I'm sure some people get rid of the voices completely. I just wanted to validate that your daughter is acting much like somebody who does have hallucinations. I would say Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is probably different (these kids are incredibly LITERAL). Here's the difference, in my opinion. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child also answered, "Yes" when asked if he hears voices and later told me "I hear voices all the time. You just asked me a question and I heard your voice." The difference is, he never said he hears voices that scare him (never initiated that conversation) and never claimed to hear voices when nobody was in the room. "Command hallucinations" tell the person what to do and, I'm told (don't know first hand) are very powerful, so they need attention. in my opinion I'd back off the behavioral mod until she is more stable. Right now she is probably confused and possibly unable to do her best to please you. I have no clue why psychiatrist is ignoring this complaint.
