Once someone becomes an extremist on any side of any issue it's like they pop bananas in their ears and are no long... |

I can't vouce for "the community" since I am not in an English speaking country and do not ever interact with other parents with autistic kids. From what I s... |

I dont have much in the way of experience or knowledge with children and medications but I do have anxiety and OCD and have since childhood so that is where my opinion is coming from. :) If your child is relaxed and fine other than therapy than I would look into other therapy options.

He has 2 chores around the house, emptying his trash on sunday and getting the mail when he gets off the bus. He does his hom... |

| Try going gluten free for a few weeks and see if that helps. The blood test is NOT accurate for testing for celiac. You can definitely have celiac and have a neg test. A biopsy is the only accurate way to test or you can try the diet and see if you symtoms are alleviated. But definitely do not rule ... |
