[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 214238, member: 3907"] Jal, I'm sorry that you're continuing to get the diagnostic runaround. It seems that a lot of psychiatrists specialize in one thing, see symptoms of that specialty, and then ignore whatever doesn't fit the picture. People on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum certainly can engage, make jokes and behave in a very social manner. I, my difficult child and my Little easy child are all spectrum-ish to varying degrees, and we can all do this (Little easy child and I to the point of being able to "pass as normal" most days, difficult child not so much...) Also, even if the psychiatric hospital was the best in the US for autism, if they were given a psychiatric history that said bipolar, then they might not have been looking for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) symtoms at all. I am glad to hear that you're pursuing another neuropsychologist evaluation. I hope it gives you the information you need to get the right interventions for your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
