My middle son displayed multiple learning and developmental problems almost from birth. He was very speech delayed and has very weak fine motor skills. At 18, he still receives special education support services in speech and occupational therapy. He also has ADHD that has been a huge challenge for him. He has severe problems with organization and memory, and in more recent years he has displayed some serious impulse control problems. The complex layers of issues he battles day to day has led to depression and anxiety. If one of my sons ends up with a bipolar diagnosis, it will probably be him, but his pdoc is in no rush to make that diagnosis yet which is perfectly fine with me. It's on the table though.

My other two sons have never shown signs of these kinds of problems.
