[QUOTE="Junniper65, post: 57873, member: 3885"] Thanks everyone! I suppose now that I'm awake I could do some more explaining. [img]:smile:[/img] I have done a lot of reading, research on Asperger's because my son is so high-functioning, however, he had language regression so that threw that out. I've also read/researched my butt off about the link between ADHD and Autism. I'm under the impression the two are linked somehow. If anything I'm very observant of my daughter because of my son. [img]:smile:[/img] I became something of an amateur occupational therapist, as I'm sure all of us here have. Now, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about ADHD. It really feels like its the right diagnosis, however I will talk to her pediatrician about the possibility of Asperger's. She fits the criteria for ADHD almost to a tee, and for Asperger's not so much. I knew it was a possibility that she have AS, but she just doesn't seem to fit on that side of the fence. Know what I mean? But I will bring it up to the pediatrician. [img]:smile:[/img] And also as a side effect of having a brother on this diet, for awhile she was on it, too. We really didn't notice a difference in her behavior. And she lost weight on the diet. Which isn't good since she's a peanut to begin with. And we've had her tested for food allergies at the same place my son is treated. Nothing. That's why I feel so torn. One who was helped by diet, and one who can't be.
