[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 190240, member: 3419"] Thanks, klmno. I'm still confused. (Not to worry. I'll be confused for yrs to come. :) ) That website described difficult child as a baby: "Symptoms of bipolar disorder can emerge as early as infancy. Mothers often report that children later diagnosed with the disorder were extremely difficult to settle and slept erratically. They seemed [B]extraordinarily clingy[/B], and from a very young age often had [B]uncontrollable, seizure-like tantrums or rages out of proportion to any event. The word "no" often triggered these rages."[/B] But here is a description of aspies, that is also my difficult child (Myles and Southwick): "Students with-AS ... state in a monotone voice a seemingly benign phrase, such as [B]"I don't know what to do."[/B] Since no emotion is conveyed, these behaviors often go unnoticed by adults. Then at a later point in time, the [B]child engages, seemingly without provocation, in a verbally or physically aggressive event, often called a tantrum, rage, or meltdown. The child may begin to scream, kick over a desk,[/B] or totally shut down." Sigh. No wonder it's so diff to figure out. He could very well be both. I want him home to cuddle and play board games, but I dread having him home. I'm going to bed. [/QUOTE]
