[QUOTE="Janna, post: 88802, member: 2737"] I don't think any disorder is worse than another. I hope by my coming here and saying that he's Autistic, not Bipolar, didn't come across that way. Being Autistic over Bipolar is no "Get Out Of Jail Free" card. This isn't Jenny McCarthy's ignorant version of "my son is Autistic and I cured him" (oops, did I say that out loud? pardon me). This stinks big time, just as it did before, it's just that his label is different, and the interventions are different, and we're gonna try to ditch the medications. Additionally, there is no guarantee he's off the Lithium forever. I can pray. I dunno that I'll go that route again because of the side effects, but he may still NEED mood stability medications. I hope whatever I've said doesn't make people think I've gone from a hard road with a kid to an easy life and he's changed to normal (whatever that is). I've got the same life long, very long, road ahead of me now as I would have had Dylan continued with the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. J [/QUOTE]
