[quote=Anonymous]How old is your son? My brother is autistic and developed bipolar disorder - which doctors at the time told us "often" happened. (No, I don't have research - he's 35 now so it's been a while as this happened when he was 20ish). You're right. Getting an autism diagnosis takes forever. Can you get someone to focus on what might be happening WITH the autism? I hate to say it but if you stop using the word autism (as much as I disagree with this statement, many people will assume that autism is a long-term problem without emergency issues, so immediate appointments aren't needed) and get even your pediatrician to focus on mood swings and anxiety, you might be able to get services for those issues now, and wait on the formal autism diagnosis until you get to the top of the lists.[/quote]
