[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 492858, member: 13038"] I have bipolar disorder. On my mother's side of the family there's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), depression, schizophrenia, lots of good stuff. Alcoholism and depression on my dad's side. My husband's side of the family is a question mark. His brother, Bug, has Aspergers--his diagnosis hasn't been changed from Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, but he's most definitely of that type--narrow interests, poor social skills, highly intelligent/verbal, etc. While Brownie has some of the traits of autism (rigidity, explosiveness) he doesn't have enough to qualify for any of the spectrum diagnoses. He's also just not that way, I don't know--he's very sensitive and perceptive. Brownie's developmental milestones were largely on track, adjusted for gestational age. Speech was slightly delayed--but he was a big babbler. He had prosody--it sounded like he was talking. When he started talking, he spoke in complete phrases/sentences.[LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] More about Brownie--he has separation anxiety, which he didn't really have when it was age-appropriate. He has a very limited diet. It's getting better, but he has food issues still. He worries about getting "fat." [/QUOTE]
