[QUOTE="Dara, post: 55524, member: 3572"] I think you might be misunderstanding me. I am not saying that only daddy swinging him is a manipulation. That I am saying is he is very specific in roles. Everyone has their roles. I also am not saying that his manipulations are extremly deep. They are very obvious. He is 3 after all. You can see it in his eyes what he is doing. The thing you have to understand is that we have been to MANY proffesionals. We have had many opinions of people in th neurological field, many therapy evaluations of different places and people that are not connected. psychiatrists and pediatricians. I do not trust a lot of these people easily. There are about 3 people I trust and those are the ones who know Sammy the best. These people are all in agreement about how Sammy operates. The thing is that noone can figure out why. Bipolar is one of the suspects but will not be determined until years from now. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a definate, anxiety definate. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) was what he was put under because he didnt fit anywhere else. He was tested to see if he would fall under the Autistic umbrella and he is on the line.
