Finally - a reason why my son and I have received 3 of these labels and why they all run in my family on my father's side!! A big childish raspberry to all those who think such conditions aren't 'real' :bigsmile:

Oooh whats the link then hun?? My Isaac has autism, Alex was borderline ADHD when he was last seen, and my Dad has mental health issues, we've always thought he was bi polar, sadly my Dad is an alcoholic as it was the only way he could cope with life. Isaac's Dad has manic mood swings...interested in the link but it hasnt shown up on here! x
