Bipolar?! !!

Post Reply New Topic

So I went for an parent interview with well quilified child clinical psychologist and play therapist.....I told her my gfg story, symptoms the works.....
She didnt say much yet regarding diagnosis.....but I could read between the lines that she is not convinced that my son only, if at all, has ASD!
She is thinking more in the line of possible bipolar disorder!?
She wants us to first see the new neuro again....she was surprised that no one connected the dots between his abnormal EEG in the R temperal lobe and his symptoms, poor auditory processing, lack of reading contexts, emotional irregulation, moodswings, exct....Plenty of the symptoms sometimes assosiated with ASD...She said she will start assessing him and working with him.
My concern is...she will be using playtherapy.....my son doesnt really know how to play! Maybe this will be an indication by itself!? Oh boy....hope she can peel away his layers to get to the real him....He knows how to cover up his weak points big time! Like he wont tell her he has visual disturbances......or headache...or dont understand!
Any suggestions?

I think just keep doing what your doing.

Have you discussed your concerns about playtherapy with her? There are many types of play therapy. I understand that play therapy of some types can be very beneficial since an adult who is in tune with the child's needs and reasons behind behaviors, can help redirect and teach new skills in the moment. They also help teach the child how to play, which is full of social skills necessary for social success in childhood. The difficult thing with children with AS is helping them to generalize the skills learned in play therapy to other environments. This means you have to know what they are working on and how she is doing it, so you can help your child to generalize to other environments.

Hopefully the play therapist is good and she will be able to peel away his layers, though it wouldn't hurt for you to tell her frankly what you have observed about him covering up things that bother him. This will alert her to signs she should look for. If she's any good at all, she has had similar cases and will know methods to get through and connect with him. If he doesn't know how to play then this sounds like a good therapy for him to do! Give the therapy some time, I know if it were me and we were starting with a new therapist, I would probably withhold judgement for about 6 weeks or so. It takes DS a while to warm up to people. If after that amount of time things weren't going fairly smoothly, I would start to question if it was a good fit.

Thanx all!
Zette....it is my oldest son.....He has been diagnosed with PDD NOS....I do think this diagnosis fit his behaviour perfectly.....Bipolar....? Maybe, but then just a little bit.....
