[quote=Anonymous]I just read something that a parent posted on another blog that her autistic child was being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She said she thought it was common and felt that it was the autism causing the ups and downs and not bipolar. My 12year old DD has autism and ADHD and one of her doctors thinks she has a mood disorder. She's been to a couple of psychologists and a psychiatrist, neither who have diagnosed a mood disorder. But I am curious. Perhaps I need to find a better doctor to comb things out just to make sure. One doc wants to give her risperidrone and I've read all about the negative side effects. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a psychiatrist you would recommend in Montgomery County that you feel has expertise in this area? Thank you.[/quote]
