[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261940, member: 1233"] It seems that as each disorder becomes popular then everyone seems to have it. First it was ADHD. I remember friends who moved because their 2 sons were quite literally the ONLY children in their GRADES who were not on ADHD medications. The school was turning them in to CPS WEEKLY for medical neglect because their kids were not on medications for ADHD. And there is NO WAY anyone would think these boys are anything but normal, intelligent, inquisitive boys who were bored at school. After they moved NO ONE thought the boys were ADHD. For a while here everyone who was a little different was an Aspie. There were kids who were the stereotypical autistic - nonverbal, sat rocking all day not reacting to anything at all (one kid had a feeding tube because he was so far in his own world he wouldn't even EAT and no one could get enough interaction to figure out why), etc who were suddenly given the Asperger's diagnosis! Now most of the kids with the Aspie diagnosis are now though to be High-Functioning Autism (HFA), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or even just autistic. While Wiz is still an Aspie, many of the other kids who were in sp ed with him are NOT. Now it is bipolar. There are medications for BiPolar (BP) that are not generic, so the drug co's are pushing BiPolar (BP) as the new hot diagnosis. I honestly think that the drug co's are behind a LOT of this. And itis SAD. [/QUOTE]
