[Farmall] Any advice on THIS problem (Off Topic...sorry)

[Paul Sigmund]

If you really read into this, you will find is there is tremendous
symptiomatic overlap among Aspberger's, ADD w/o hyperactivity, Anxiety &
Depression, and Juvenile Bipolarism.  Experienced psychiatrists
knowledgeable enough to discuss the subject candidly will wholeheartedly
agree that such diagnosis is extremely difficult if not impossible.  It
often involves a good bit of trial-and-error.  Not only can the symptoms be
entirely parallel, often the disorders are comorbid.  Finally, Aspbergers is
the latest "vogue" disorder.    I'll provide the name of a recognized
standard book on the subject.

> I asked the boy's father if the "Asperger's" word had ever been
introduced as they have consulted with doctors, psychologists, and the  rest
of that bunch.  He said, "no".  Don't get me wrong,  here...I am no
clinician.  I just did a little poking about and  confered with my daughter
who is studying such things at college.   Without provocation when I
described to her the fellow's "behavioral  patterns" she trotted out
Asperger's.
>   How can one "minimize" the obvious disadvantages if, in fact, he is in
the Asperger's category.  Must he anticipate a lifetime of  medication?  If
he does not have the "brakes" that most of us  posess, how will he be able
to function safely as an adult?
