[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 26298, member: 1550"] I noticed your younger child has a speech delay. I think it would be prudent to also have your oldest (and maybe youngest), see a neuropsychologist to see if he's on the autism spectrum. The higher functioning kids with Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified are often VERY smart, but they don't think like we do and parenting them is a big challenge. Unfortunately, many psychiatrists don't know how to identify Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in kids (everyone is soooooooo specialized). Here's a link for Aspergers Syndrome. It often looks like bipolar/ODD. My son is on the Spectrum. His first diagnosis. were ADHD/ODD then bipolar. All were wrong. He's doing great now. Here's an online test which can be very accurate if you are honest in your answers. You may want to take it for younger son too.
