[QUOTE="luvmyottb, post: 182364"] We have been out of town the last week and had 2 therapy sessions in a row right before we left. Therapist was concerned over difficult child's behavior and had us fill out additional paperwork on us, difficult child history and a long questionairre. I had appointment this AM with therapist and he says he has done lots of research over the last week. Feels her diagnosis should be Aspergers instead of mood disorder/biopolar. Clearly, the ADHD factor is significant also. He also sees histronic personality possibilities (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)). Also says the medications she is currently on wouldn't necessarily fit her diagnosis, but I need to speak to psychiatrist. Just trying to digest all of this and see if it fits. He sees characteristics of ADHD, Aspergers, biopolar, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). She is like a melting pot of several different things. He says he has not treated female child Aspie patient. My sister in law, who is a licensed mental health counselor, has said Aspergers all along, but I couldn't see it as much, just definitely in the inappropriate social behavior. She goes way over the top with other kids instead of being socially isolated which is more I have come to see kids with Aspie. Any other moms or dads with female aspies? I need more information.
