So back to the Autism thing...

[wylde]

What were the symptoms that Evan displayed that brought about his original diagnosis? Did Jenny suspect Autism or were there a battery of tests? I haven't been paying much attention to it all, even with the media's broken record... I flat out ignored it actually. But I have a nephew... 3 years old. He doesn't speak normally for a boy his age. Occasionally a word or two are understandable, but it's mostly jibberish. Then there're his violent outbursts. My brother and his wife have a barrage of bruises and bite marks. He (my nephew) threw a rock at my son and hit him in the head the other day at a family get together. No reason. No understanding. They're taking him for "tests."

It's okay . Not most kidsat the age of 3 speak clearly . My daughter does and knows a lot for someone her age . The only thing is that she does have her outbreaks ... were she's telling me what to do ...lol... and the occasional throwing of objects -

I hope all turns out well .

Jenny noticed he began to withdraw eye contact etc after his vaccinations.......then he began to display stims and then had fits and dietry problems..........he was quiet severly affected by all accounts.

Then that is not normal .

Hope he is better now .

I haven't heard anymore about it... but I know they had to go to entirely fat free stuff, thinking that sugar had to do with his fits. He just goes off That didn't help, tho... and the speech thing, not normal with our folk, Lammy. My son spoke plain as day, very understandable, at half my nephew's age. Maybe a year old, give or take. My brother's first son's speech was corrected when they put tubes in his ears. Once he could hear, his speech improved. He's still a bit behind, but catching up. It's the younger boy... poor kid. Colicy, too. Cried and screamed, correction STILL screams...and kicks and punches and bites.

children who are allergic to food cannot say that they are, they get the results of eating. eg. milk allergy can give a rash or upset stomach or
cramps, they don't know why they feel that way all they know is they don't feel good, so if they eat something they feel affected them they will just refuse it. Some parents keep feeding kids stuff they don't want and maybe they really shouldn't be eating it. It's hard on young children when they don't know they have an allergy. All they know is certain foods make them feel a certain way. Even with sugar, kids figure OOOOhhh this makes me happy and want more and more then they have the big sugar drop or boost then feel real bad after or start to b hyper, same with artificial colors and additives in food and some preservatives. Fresh foods are so much better... eg.
peas straight from the garden, I use to raid my dad's garden all the time.
Nothing like home grown peas. Then again someone else could b allergic to them.

[fluffy]

there's a theory that kids who are seriously allergic to a food (not puking allergic but behaviour etc) will crave it like addicts......It's because the body will produce histamine which is an addictive chemical so they crave the fix.......When you remove the food they suffer withdrawal and go crazy till it passes, then they are like new kids.

A sugar addict going through withdrawal symptoms,
anyone who craves coffee in the morning will definitely be able to
sympathize with that thought.

[lammy]

I'm thankful for all research and doctors too . Without them we'd all be crap -

[fluffy]

i get carb cravings ......for dry crackers usually.....a sure sign to avoid them........

If you have it once in a while - like once a year I am sure it will not be bad .
