I don't know much about autism ..but I know a lot about bipolar..because ..that would be me! If you have this chemical imbalance..you will have really big changes in moods. Not just changes but going from being really talkative..outgoing.."smart" creative..just about the finest person you know...to feeling like the whole world is closing in on you..like you can't possible be worth anything to anyone..like you aren't capable of getting your act together, because you really have no act!
One side is Manic / (mania) the other side is severe depression..
If you think this is what you have...you can't fix it by yourself.. if you could ..you would have by now. There are medications available, that can be prescribed by your doctor. Most of them have minor side effects. It takes them about 3 weeks to get into your system before you can tell much difference. Bipolar is also a much tossed around term right now. Everyone and his dog thinks he must be bipolar because his life is a mess and he's moody. Symptoms like these can just be part of everyday life...especially for a teenager. You have so much going on in your body tat it's amazing it can go to sleep and wake up everyday! I think autism is more of a general "non ability" to fit into social situations, andlife in general. It comes with actiung out behavior. It doesn't come with the strong on and off black and white emotional swings that bipolar does. Check on line..you'll find more stuff than you'll want! Basically, if you think this may be your problem,call you doctor and have a talk with him. he can run some tests and tell you more about your options. All I know is...life doesn't have to HURT...life is a struggle for everyone..but it doesn't have to hurt! Think about this...do some more checking and then call your doctor. The medications available are wonderful..IF...the two of you can figure out what is wrong ..it can be fixed,or at least made much better good luck ?

The links in my sources will help, but really you need to see a doctor.

Well what makes you think your Bipolar and have a high function autism?

No one can diagnose you over the internet.
But here is the easy test: When you were a child, did you crave conformity as did other children? Did you play with other children, or did you use them as mechanical aids in your play? Do you have great difficulty recognizing that other people have feelings?
If you answered yes to all three questions, then you may have autism.
Bipolar and autism are both easily detected by a competent psychiatrist.
