[QUOTE="Mountain king, post: 657842, member: 19093"] Thanks for replies. I am in New Zealand. This is the only help we have been offered, there is only the one childhood mental health unit where we live. I do think she has some traits of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and add etc, but for instance she does want to make friends, she can have eye contact, she just doesn't know what to do with people. She also is very immature for her age. Her father is not in her life any more as a court ordered physicatrist deemed him to not know how to look after her basic needs. Visits were initially surprised as he was violent to me and in front of children, I have a son who has add and is high functioning Aspergers as well. Visits were for 48 hours unsupervised from 2 ish. After reading lots the possibility of sexual abuse did come up in reference to the inappropriate wetting, it's a hard one, I don't think but you never completely know for sure. They want to test her for autism but yesterday after fusing to leave the house and Us having to chase her and physically put her in car they said they can't as she won't talk. The reason I questioned bipolar is because of family history and when I have read up on adhd, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), odd etc while she does tick some boxes it is not all of them whilst with the characteristics of bipolar it seems like they are talking about her. It's so hard as I just don't feel we are getting anywhere. Oh and 'us' refers to myself her mum and her nana. She is currently under the care of two physiologists and a physicatrist. Thanks [/QUOTE]
