[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 189917, member: 1550"] Welcome! I have a son on the spectrum. He was first dxd. with bipolar. I'm glad we had a NeuroPsyh evaluation. He isn't bipolar--he is on the autism spectrum and is doing really well now. Off the strong medications too. Be careful. Often psychiatrists and psychiatric hospitals miss Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and label the kids bipolar or ADHD and give medications rather than suggesting Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions as the first line of treatment. Why? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a neurological NOT a psychiatric problems and many psychiatrists don't know much about how to spot it. I hope you get a great evaluation. Please do a signature like I did below. I have a few questions that would also help us: 1/How was your child's early development? Speech, eye contact with strangers, imaginative play, interaction with peers, motor skills, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies, sensory issues? 2/ Any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on EITHER side of the bio. family tree? Welcome to our family! [/QUOTE]
