[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 47247, member: 1722"] I've watched my Duckie for symptoms of eobd for a long time now due to a family history (my mother), and they just aren't there. At least not yet. What I did have as an infant, toddler & preschooler was a child that displayed autistic-like symptoms that would come & go dependent on how bad her allergies were. I mean she'd be a complete easy child one day, then be a toe-walking, twirling, raging, eyes-bugged-out, monotone talking, sensory sensitive, toy lining up kid the nxt day. This would go on for several days to maybe three weeks then POOF! I'd have a easy child again. It wasn't until she had a very bad allergic reaction in October 2005 that we began to aggressively treat her allergies. They still aren't under control completely, but the change was incredible. We still get some break through behavior now & then (like right now, lol!) but you would never think this was a child that would have been evaluated for autism. Never. I don't even think of her as a true difficult child anymore, more like easy child with very strong difficult child tendencies. So I do think it's possible that allergies play a part in all this. However, I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Still have him treated for the diagnosis'd mood disorder and treat his allergies as aggressively as you are able. Having his allergies better controlled will only help his overall health. I wouldn't want to see you pursue this line of thought to the point of stopping treatment for his mood disorder because many kids with mood disorders worsen as they go through puberty. But you may want to take him to an allergist to find out what his specific allergens are and come up with a treatment plan. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
