Bipolar Symptoms, Doctor Appt
Well, since I am puzzled about the lack of detox for Mike, we will talk to a doctor in California, Nancy Mullan, on Oct. 18 by phone.
In the meantime, I talked to the psychologist at his school, who said Mike is actually doing very well compared to some other kids with Aspergers who entered when he did. He is navigating the hallways OK (the school as 1400 students), seems to know his subjects so must be listening in class, although he is not doing the homework by and large. So that is reassuring. He is not freaking out or anything at the huge change.
I am noticing some bipolar symptoms, usually just cycles to manic and then back to normal that last 10 minutes or less. But a few days ago he had a cycle to depressed that lasted 10-60 minutes, not sure. Pretty soon it was over though, back to normal.

Does this mean he won't be put in special ed? Is anybody concerned that he's not doing homework?

Webster Groves High School has decided to leave him in the situation he is in, which is virtually the same as under a special ed designation, with a bunc of special accommodations in the regular classroom. Apparently the special ed designation wouldn't change things much.
I haven't caught him yet with undone homework. Hopefully he is doing it during his supervised study hall. I guess six-week grades will really tell.

Do you think the short bursts of depression might be more of a sign of his detoxing rather than a bipolar state? It seems like a rapid cycle.
