[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 190183"] Not from what I have read in books, but mostly from experience...I can tell you this based our situation with a child with a bipolar diagnosis and that of a good friend whose child is clearly an Aspie... 1. My child has much greater issues with sleep. For my child...not sleep is almost a daily thing unless medication is introduced. 2. My child has much greater issues with impulsivity 3. My child has much greater issues with mood swings. 4. My child has more issues with racing thoughts and it is unclear if her child even has this issue. In addition, my child is more likely to have periods (although brief) of rapid speech. 5. My child is frightening slow to learn from mistakes and although this is a big concern for this other family, it is clearly more of a concern for my child and our family. 6. ANXIETY: Both children seem to have issues with change and anxiety. However, the anxiety part of it all seems to be more prominent with my child. I don't know if this was helpful at all. I think the top two (impuslivity and sleep problems) really stand out in my mind with bipolar disorder. [/QUOTE]
