[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 200592, member: 1550"] Hi there. I have a few questions that will help us help you :) Are you convinced that all your children have been diagnosed correctly? 1/Has he ever had a complete evaluation, such as one done by a neuropsychologist maybe at a university or children's hospital? If not, I think he should get one. 2/How was his early development? Did he speak on time? How is his eye contact with strangers? Did he play with toys the right way? Did he have any strange repetitive behaviors like head bumping or hand flapping or tongue noises or high pitch squeals? Any obsessions? Did he potty on time? Any sensitivities to food textures, material, loud noise? Does he know how to sociailize NOW? 2. You already mentioned alcoholism on the family tree on his father's side. Did you know that alcholism in a biological parent puts the child at an increased risk for a mood disorder? You having bipolar also puts him at an increased risk for childhood onset bipolar. I'm actually wondering if there is some autism mixed with a mood disorder. No, I can't diagnose, but your kids all seem to have symptoms of both and they commonly co-exist. If so, they both need to be treated. medications alone won't be enough. Welcome to the board. Others will come along, although sometimes it's slow on the weekends :) [/QUOTE]
