Aspergers - BiPolar

thoughts??

We are starting to lean towards Aspergers...it's all starting to drive us both nuts. We want a real diagnosis, concrete treatment path and how we are to move forward.

A few years ago after a crisis, D and I went to the doc asking for help. He jumped on a mental health website, did a bit of research and wondered if he had Bi-Polar, the pysch said yep, sounds good, thats it. Well honestly after 4 years, we beg to differ. It all doesnt add up. I love my hubby, but there are things that just aren't quite right. Things I take for granted as being 'normal' and what people should be doing, he just doesnt get. Social 'Norms' mean nothing in my household. Spoke to his mum today to get a background on his childhood, and it is looking more and more likely that we are looking at Aspergers. So next on our agenda...learning more..

  1. Just found your blog via the #30BBM challenge on Twitter. My father had Asperger's and I'm borderline, if you need any information don't hesitate to let me know. I also recently wrote a blog-post on it: http://beckyskaleidoscope.blogspot.com/2011/07/aspergers-syndrome.html

  2. I just found your blog through the comment you left on mine. My brother has Aspergers so I've grown up seeing his highs and lows. Since I'm just starting to check out your blog I definitely couldn't give an opinion one way or the other but I do know recently my brother went through some additional diagnostic tests that went between bi-polar and something else too. It's definitely an interesting world he lives in but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
