[QUOTE="ML, post: 139866"] Thanks, Smallworld. CBT is something we intend to try. I'm looking for a therapist locally. We were seeing one but it was too far and caused problems with logistics. I'm so crazy with all this. When you said your difficult child had similar symptoms I immediately clicked on your profiled to see what diagnosis he had to see if it would fit. :) Thanks for your thoughts. The reason I want a diagnosis is so that I can take him to support gatherings and he won't say "why are you bringing me to hang out with these (aspies, mood disordered kids, etc)" unless I can say "this may be you too". He knows I think something is different (because it is). His self esteem is so fragile already. I think talking about it honestly would help. I just don't know how to do it. I guess I can say "d, you are different, we just don't know why". No, that wouldn't work for him. He's a black and white person and wants answers he can wrap his brain around. I guess I do too. Sorry for the long answer to your response. I do thank you for allowing the opportunity to think outloud and brainstorm about this. ML [/QUOTE]
