AS comorbid with Bipolar

Post Reply New Topic

Hello all again,
My son saw a new psych this week, and she was asking about son's meltdowns and mood changes. He has a history of :
ADHD (age4)
OCD, Major depression severe and recurrent, Anxiety NOS, age 9
AS replaced OCD and Anxiety disorders at age 9.5

She said it is common to see these diagnoses comorbid (bipolar and AS) he is seen at a major developmental medical center who sees thousands of kids, no joke and she is very good, she sees my other son as well so I am not questioning her thoughts.
But I am wondering how many of you all have kids with these two diagnoses?

Actually before his AS dx I was thinking bipolar as I have a strong faily history along that line.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

I dually diagnosed ASD and bipolar so as far as your doc's commonality comment goes he's right

I am just wondering if you snapped at people alot? My son snapps ALL the time, not just during meltdowns.
Do you remember the symptoms you were having?
Thanks

Ya, sometimes I snap
