Fine. You don’t buy it. I don’t know why you would believe in adult bipolar, and not childhood bipolar. Exactly what day do these kids suddenly turn bipolar? I knew there was something wrong with my son from the time he was a toddler. You should try living with it. Maybe you’d understand.

Bipolar/ADHD/autistic kids are often much smarter than average. My son tested at a genius level. Not all “special needs” children cause problems in a classroom.

The reason I don't buy it in children is, how could you tell? Kids change behaviors and moods in seconds.

Bipolar/ADHD/autistic kids are often much smarter than average. My son tested at a genius level. Not all “special needs” children cause problems in a classroom.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Every parent wants their kid to succeed but some aren't satisfied with normal and seek tests to prove their offspring is so special and I've seen it first hand. Guess what, your kid is special, just like everyone else. There is another possibility as well. Maybe your kid is just a brat?

So your kid tested genius, congratulations, there aren't any geniuses in prison, then again maybe there are. I hope he doesn't have to go through all the tests I had to go to since they thought I was cheating because I could work and read so fast. I tested off the charts but I don't think they ever believed me but they couldn't prove otherwise. The only good thing is I got to do what I wanted from third grade until Jr. High. A chick in my class had to go through the same B.S. We had to sit and fiddle our fingers because they taught to the lowest common denominator and they didn't have special classes back then. So now that kids with whatever problem get to slow down the rest of the class, way to go.

I don't know you but I bet everyone you talk to gets to her about your little genius. If I'm wrong I'll apologize laugh because I don't believe it, I've seen mothers like you.
