My mom was never diagnosed but she came from a generation that you just weren't diagnosed unless you were psychotic or needed to be in a hospital. My mom was always manic. She would all of a sudden just jump in the car and drive. She never sat down. I would say that when she wasn't manic, the other side was unreasonable anger. That was kind of her depression. BTW, she is a devout nut of a cult (one that is accepted today, but jokes are made of). She also is obsessed with not owning antiques or anything from family members that she doesn't agree with their lifestyle. Ugh. She has always felt misunderstood her whole life. So, yeah, I think I definitely got it from her. I'm also on the low side of the spectrum. Fathers side was pretty normal but from my understanding his mom was a bit unusual too (didn't interact much with her).
