[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 190237"] Our daughter was diagnosis'd Aspie by a psychologist. However, her own psychologist and psychiatrist (a very famous woman) both said it was incorrect. I could see some traits after reading a book on the topic. But the bipolar symptoms were more prevalent. The book Bipolar Child REALLY hit home with me. Luv posted this and wow...it sounds familiar. [I]"Characteristics of my difficult child BiPolar (BP), anger, tantrums, impulse control, craves carbs, low tolerance for frustration..."[/I] and it sounds familiar in our household. [B][U]Raging has improved greatly with age and proper medications for my difficult child.[/U][/B] [B]VERY Often observed behavior[/B] (most of these are serious and ongoing, but have been helped by medication): Crossing boundaries Impulsivity Craves carbs Low tolerance for frustration [B]Current and accurate:[/B] Odd Drama Queen Loves to be the Center of Attention [B]Often[/B] Wears inappropriate clothing Very touchy/feely with strangers [B]Relatively Often[/B] Lies Mouthy Continued: "[I]Her Aspie characteristic is social. Emotional immaturity, gets along much better with kids 2 or 3 years younger."[/I] In a social gatherings, my difficult child will gravitate towards either children or those a few years younger. sometimes she will speak with folks my age, especially if she knows them from "my circle" of friends. She is socially immature and often struggles. [I]"She doesn't read where kids get tired of you hanging all over them."[/I] Just a few years ago, my difficult child had terrible problems with this, but in recent years, she is doing better. I do believe therapy is helping her with this issue. Overall...medication and therapy has helped GREATLY with the raging aspect to all of this and has made inroads into other things. Without medication and therapy, life would often be DANGEROUS and completely miserable for her and our family.
