[QUOTE="keista, post: 536365, member: 11965"] Yeah, they would and they do. As always, there are exceptions to the rules, but Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids (high functioning ones at least) are generally VERY self assured and self confident and think they know EVERYTHING. Superficially and to a small degree, this can be mis-identified as the grandiose thinking of BiPolar (BP). in my opinion and experience, in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) it's more realism-based. For example, years ago, DD1 was once complemented on her singing while we were shopping. Immediately she considered herself a [B]GREAT[/B] singer. She's a good singer with a pretty voice, but she's far from [B]GREAT[/B] at the moment - she needs to put in a lot of work on many facets of her singing. If when she does, I do think she can become [B]GREAT[/B]. in my opinion and experience, this is very Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). However, if she pushed it further to believing that she was 100% STAR QUALITY at this very moment and it was my fault that I was denying her the opportunities to be discovered NOW, I'd categorize that as the grandiose thinking that is characteristic of BiPolar (BP). Yes, it could be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety issues. You could try anti anxiety medications to try and quiet some of these behaviors. Paxil did work for DD1, especially for her social/stranger anxieties) until things just went bad with that medication. And yes, the problem is that these all overlap, and it could be all at the same time as well. [/QUOTE]
