[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 559488, member: 14829"] Hmmm...most of K's symptoms are never "gone," (the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) severity fluctuates significantly and the vocal tics are new) but it's hard because we don't know what symptoms are congenital issues and what came post-birth. I do know he had motor tics and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior that appeared suddenly and were very severe (how he got his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis), and the kids in his orphanage almost always had strep going around. I know PANDAS is probably a long shot, but the vocal tics started a couple of days after he was exposed to strep. He doesn't have current strep symptoms...but he never has symptoms. His rapid test was negative last time and they had to send it away to culture (doctor thinks he may be a carrier but have only tested 2x's). Since he has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the psychiatrist blames it for most behaviors...except everyone with experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) does not believe he is actually autistic. So, without that diagnosis, he just has a whole bag of strange behaviors-and my concern is, it sounds like PANDAS needs to be diagnosed and treated or it can do even more damage :( I am going to take him tomorrow after school for a strep test...if it's positive, I guess it's something to look into more closely.
