Some kids AS and BP will hold in their emotions at school and other places and really have meltdowns with Mom. Dr. Papolos wife has a DVD and in it there is a chapter on this behavior with Mom. Coping with AS and BP: A lot of doctors have written about how comorbid conditions are common. Dr. Kutscher has a book Kids in the Syndrome Mix that is good. To cope the mood disorder has to be under control medically. The child's behavior has to be under control. Many kids respond to behavior therapy based on positive reinforcement and a point system. It is the sort of thing that is used in special needs setting the most often. Every privelege has to be earned. It works but it is a lot of work to set up at first since it is often a big change. Hearing voices: I hope the medication works for that. I know that any mental health disorder is worse under stress. Hopefully by you providing your son with what he needs medically he will feel better and the doctor will likely be the only validation you will get. Best wishes in your son's health and recovery. Pam > > My son is 12.5 yrs old, and has ADHD and anxiety, with learning disabilities on top of that. We just went to the doctor for a foloow up and they are changing his meds more toward bipolar disorder because of how my son acts, his dreams, and he said he hears voices. My son is definitely Asperger's but can you have all of this on top of it, and how do you manage it? They are only doing a 15 day trial, and his dad STIL thinks nothing is wrong with HIS son (we are divorced). So I do have a feeling that my son may have developed a split personality in order to handle situations over at his fathers home because there is a lot of emotional and some physical abuse. (I am in the middle of a court case). > > Struggling > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
