[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 95466, member: 1550"] I second SRL. neuropsychologist exams are so intensive--much more than just some doctor listening to symptoms, taking a family history, and blurting out a diagnosis. My son was misdiagnosed twice and on tons of medications. The Risperdal gave him the same side effects your son had, but at least psychiatrist took him off of it right away. Still, he insisted he had bipolar. The neuropsychologist nailed him right. Four medication free years later, this is my most even-tempered child. My son has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and it's so obvious that I could slap myself in the head. I kept telling them I thought so because of his early development and strangeness and I told them he didn't seem depressed or manic, but they didn't listen, and I listened to THEM because I figured THEY knew. I encourage neuropsychologist exams because they are better, more intensive, longer, more detailed. I'm happy for you and your child. If he starts acting up again, don't assume it's bipolar. Take him back to the neuropsychologist. JMO. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
