[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 546460, member: 1550"] My son was misdiagnosed with bipolar (be careful). Those moodswings and hyperness and obsessive talking about one topic are classic Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son is almost nineteen and not on any medications now and is most certainly not bipolar. I personally don't like the bipolar diagnosis in kids. I wonder how many of these bipolar kids really have bipolar that manifests itself when the child gets older. in my opinion I think it's often a misdiagnosis and, yes, it could easily be mistaken in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I'd be careful. The drugs for childhood are very heavy hitting and carry a lot of side effects. I'm sorry I put my young son on such heavy duty drugs, especially since now that he's older, he clearly does not have a mood disorder. Caution is your friend :) A psychologist is not a psychiatrist, no matter how many years she has been at it and what her reputation is. [/QUOTE]
