[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 68068"] Well, you have answers. That's great! Asperger's IS an autism spectrum disorder, which isn't at all surprising since bio-mom is bipolar. Mothers (or parents, can't remember) with a mood disorder are statistically more likely to have a child on the autism spectrum. Dysphoric is depressed, anxious and labile is adaptability. You should have gotten some recommendations on therapeutic interventions and possibly some referrals. There aren't medications to treat autism, the medications would be for the comorbid disorders (mood disorders, ADHD). Having children on the autism spectrum definitely changes the needs in an IEP. You'll probably want Occupational Therapist (OT) to work with the sensory issues. Check out the autism websites. I think totoro just posted a new one, but I haven't looked at it yet. [/QUOTE]
