My kids' labels

I have two kids, age 13 and 11. The older (I'll call him Bart) has Asperger's (well, really PDD-NOS, but that is the most unhelpful label.
My younger (let's call her Sabrina) doesn't have any official labels yet. I have a number of theories, and it varies as to which one is at the fore. Anxiety has been a big issue for her. OCD tends to flare up and disappear. I wonder about both bi-polar disorder and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). Anyway, she sees a psychologist and we try to manage her behaviours -- whatever they are.
