Hi. I've just noticed that you friended me, and that we have beautyofgrey as a mutual friend.
Have you checked out the book The Bipolar Child? It's by Demitri Papolos, MD, and Janice Papolos. You can probably get it through the library. It's an excellent reference.
I didn't technically have early onset -- my first major episode didn't come until I was twenty -- but I can look back at my childhood at various incidents and say, yep, there were definitely signs. I was easily able to cope, but it's clear from a distance that I wasn't functioning entirely on the average.
