Bipolar is a little different. They have to have a psychotic episode before they can really start to be diagnosed, but the trick is limiting it to just the one. Every episode they have sets them back a little bit. Left untreated with multiple episodes, they will never function normally.
Sounds like you have enough experience with autism to have plenty of advice and wisdom to offer. Sometimes just an encouraging word is enough. Regarding your comment that normal is all relative.... I used to have a graphic in my siggie somewhere else that shall not be named... that said "Different is the new normal." I have one w/ADHD and the other with Autism/ADHD. Normal??? What the heck is that? LOL
hey guys, I hope you are aware that disney has a pass for anyone with disablities, you can go to any park to the information desk/ guest relations to pick it up, usual they will help. When and if I use one for britt, they are very helpful if you explain what the situation is. The person in question needs to be there with you. for those That don't know Britt has a mild form of Asperger's, and usually can't be seen unless your around her for long periods of time and she also has sensory issues as well. It's hard as a parent to care for anyone with any kind of disablities, after all we weren't given a handbook, and most of us have to fight the system to get help for our precious kids. It's hard but it can be such a pleasure to see things thru thier eyes. All of the ones I normally hang out with at the fort, know this and have always treated her really good, even the employee's. If I can help you in anyway just let me know.
