Christina his pdoc has him solely labled as ADHD on paper. She will be switching it to solely aspergers to get the services (with out going through insurence or the school system): Drama classes, Occupational therapy, physical therapy, and social classes because he does meet the aspergers criteria.

With us having to "rip him off the walls" and "someones in my bedroom and he's waiting until I'm sleeping to kill me to take my toys" or like things whenever trying adhd meds, and his increasing Self injury and suicide attempts, she's pretty sure it's bipolar. As long as he's getting services it will stay as aspergers, even if he has to go inpatient but she's using bipolar meds to help. However she doesn't want us to be shocked with the bipolar label when he has intake when moving to adult services at 18. However with aspergers she can fight that a change in pdoc's would be more damaging to mental health and he could stay in the children's services until he is ready to move.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear on that, it's the non-psy doc.'s and the nurses that are annoying. He does do testing every 2 yrs but because she's his residing pdoc the testing are suggestions.
