[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 451256, member: 1550"] I usually agree with Insane, but since you live in the US, I'd skip the behavioral therapists. In the US, they usually mean that they tell you a method, s uch as a sticker chart, and inevitably it fails and you haven't gained anything. Also, anyone who tells you that she is this way because you are a 'bad parent" needs to go back to school and learn that this is outdated thinking. I'd disregard it AND anyone who says it. I would take her to a neuropsychologist. They do intensive testing 6-10 hours. You have only gone to therapists...they are not qualified to diagnose, which is probably why they threw the book at your daughter. It could well be that all she has is Aspergers and the other behaviors are because of the Aspergers. I'd go easy on the bipolar diagnosis. simply because the medications used to control it are extremely hardcore and she may not have it. My son was wrongly diagnosed with bipolar when he had autistic spectrum disorder. Please be careful and do see a neuropsychologist. Teaching hospitals ARE a great place to find neuropsychs as well as children's hospitals. Also, keep us posted as to your progress and welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
