[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220904, member: 1550"] Ok...one last explanation. A good friend of mine has a son with plain Aspergers, no co-morbids. He was inappropriate with a "pretty" girl once and he touched her. He did not know that he wasn't supposed to touch her. by the way, he is not cognitively delayed. He is very smart. He just doesn't "get" social norms unless they are explained to him. Once they were, he has never repeated it. He was like, "Oh! Ok!" Hypersexual can be a part of bipolar. I have bipolar. However, just wanting to k iss a girl is not necessarily hypersexuality, which is why this woman needs to have her child evaluated. He does have autistic red flags coming out the wazoo. And I take my son to an autism specialist too, plus a social group of autistic teens, and he was diagnosed by a neuropsychologist from Mayo Clinic who explained the social differences to me between autism and "typical" behavior. He also explained that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is often misdiagnosed as bipolar or ADHD. Let's let the professionals decide what he has. I hope he sees a neuropsychologist soon. They do awesome testing. My son had an ten hour evaluation and his life changed after that. [/QUOTE]
