[QUOTE="Fran, post: 383319, member: 3"] whatamess, my difficult child was pretty manic when he hit puberty. They called it atypical bipolar. Not sure what to call it. He hasn't had very manic behavior for quite a while. When we know more about AS I believe that it will be found that there is a mood component that is different than bipolar but a difficult child demonstrates mania. My difficult child never crashed. Seems he was on the hyper side his whole youth. He is on a mood stabilizer but hasn't had a changed dose in 6 or 7 yrs. I'm hoping you can find a way to help him through this very unstable time of puberty and he starts to settle down. It was a long, hard road for us to not get swallowed up in fear for his ability to be in touch with reality. At no point did I believe he was manipulating me. He just isn't that calculating. [/QUOTE]
