Bi-polar & Aspergers

My Missy went off to the Clinical Psychologist last week and when she came out and told me she has Aspergers. Hmmmm..... interesting

She (the clinical psychologist) was very intereted in seeing Missy as Zaks level of Autism is so high. (Severe Autism no less!!) After doing some testing and some more testing, it seems Missy is a combination of Bi-Polar and Aspergers. Still not quite sure what to do with this new information. She is still the same Missy we all love, but just with an added 'extra' I suppose.

The information from one of the tests was very fascinating though. It broke down how her thinking/brain functions. eg: working memory, perseptual reasoning, processing speed and verbal comprehension. It was amazing to have this information and be able to relate it directly back to how she 'operates' for want of a better word.

At the end of the day she is still my Missy
