I have read a lot about the sun/moon opposition being very difficult. The masculine and the feminine energies never able to join together. I have a few oppositions in my own chart and I find them more difficult to deal with than squares.

Why does the psychiatrist say that she probably has bipolar? Does she show signs of mania and depression like grandiosity, rapid/pressured speech,racing thoughts, extreme highs/lows.

As for autism, does she come across as being autistic in any way. Does she have problems with nonverbal communications like difficulty understanding social/emotional cues? Does she have issues with extreme hypersensitivity to her environment that can lead to her shutting off or having emotional melt down. Does she have a history of speech delays? Speech delays would rule out Aspergers Syndrome. People with Aspergers Syndrome are said to have at least average intelligence. Many of them have above average intelligence and can be gifted. They can be very verbal, but they can have a monotonous and idiosyncratic way of speaking. They can have problems with small talk. They will tend to have obsessive interest in something and can be very good at it, and they can go on and on about it and be oblivious to what others think and feel about it even though they make it known with their gestures and facial expressions. People who don't understand Aspergers Syndrome might think that they have a Narcissists. They can take things too literally. Aspergers tend to have problems with motor skills/coordination and they can be clumsy. There is strong overlap between Autistic Spectrum and Dyspraxia.

Psychiatrists that have a clue would know better to differentiate Aspergers Syndrome from Schizoid Personality Disorder, Schizotypal Personality Disorder.

It's not uncommon for people with Autistic Spectrum to be misdiagnosed as having Bipolar, Schizophrenia.

In the book, The Bipolar Child by Demetri Paplos, Aspergers Syndrome was listed as one of the conditions that are often misdiagnosed as Bipolar.

There are people that are high functioning autistics and aren't Aspergers. They have a history of delays in speech.
Dr. Temple Grandin is a perfect example of that.

Autism doesn't necessarily effect intelligence. The wrong intelligence tests have been given to autistics who tend to be extremely visual,picture thinkers.

" She's 37 but is like a 12 year old in alot of ways."

How does she act like a 12 year old in a lot of ways?

" Also she has apparantly been having paranoid delusions and thinking her neighbours have it in for her."

There are people that believe that aliens are among us and have taken over governments,etc. There are people that believe in conspiracy theories and they involve religion,politics,and other things where ideology is involved.

maybe she isn't paranoid delusional.
Maybe she is sane.
