My pdocs do mention it reminds them of AS; yet, they have never changed my diagnosis. This goes on for me fairly frequently.
Neurontin/gabapentin seems to be helping, so far. It's a bit sedating, however.
I hope you find some answers for your child.

Ja, there is so much overlap that I sometimes wonder if we are no farther along in our explanatory models for mental illness than the medieval alchemists were with having a correct model in understanding basic chemical changes.
Hey, thanks for the gabapentin tip! DS did take oxcarbazepine for a while, which didn't do anything but impair his cognitive functions ( "makes me stupid and drool" ), I know these compounds are so idiosyncratic with respects to individual responses to them that even a slight change in part of the molecule could make all the difference.
Definitely mention it to the doc! Always hopeful.
Hope you find some stability and peace for yourself, as well. I know how hatefully debilitating it is.
Cheers!
