[QUOTE="Shari, post: 169271, member: 1848"] Yes, I took him to an immunologist/allergist and had both the blood allergy testing and skin testing done, in addition to the...what's it called....ie antibodies testing, or something to that effect...he came up with not a single allergy, which is strange considering both his bio dad and I have quite a few allergies. I've done elimination diets in the past with no effect, as well. We thought we were onto something with milk, but it ended up being a coincidence. Not to be negative, but....his bio dad's parents were told 35 years ago that he'd "just outgrow it" and that's the only image in my head when they were telling me that. I hope they're right...I hope he does outgrow it. But I plan to continue to act on the assumption that they are wrong - difficult child's future depends on it, and I'll be danged if I'm gonna have him living in my barn, unemployed at age 40 if there is ANYTHING I can do about it. He [I]might[/I] grow out of it. I [I]might [/I]fail. There [I]might[/I] be nothing anyone can do. But I'll be danged if I'm not gonna try. The immunologist is still working on an second opinion, and I've found some social skills groups that are based on need, not diagnosis, with sliding scale fees in Kansas City. Not exactly planning on driving there every week, but hoping thru them I can work my direction and find resources closer. [/QUOTE]
