[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 470783, member: 11791"] A wise therapist told us... that MOST of these dxes are related on some level. Its like trying to portion out the beach by drawing lines in the sand. Storm comes, and the lines get redrawn not quite where they were... but its all the same beach. ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), the LDs... I know those for sure fit this picture. That's why an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid can seem ADHD - or why a kid who doesn't quite meet the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) definitions has so many traits... [I]ITS ALL RELATED.[/I] I do NOT know where mental health issues like bi-polar fit in... those were not on our radar. Maybe someone else can speak to that part? Would be interesting to know if those relate as well... Anxiety and depression are often secondary dxes... brought on by the original needs not being met for a long period of time. This is why I've fought for every diagnosis that fits. There is no ONE diagnosis that comes anywhere close to describing difficult child. But there is a combo that does... and we think we're pretty close to done with dxes now, because the combination of interventions is showing success (for the first time). [/QUOTE]
