Could it be true??????
**** Today we got another test back.....and you guessed it NORMAL....NORMAL......NORMAL!!!!! To most this would be great news, all is well, ice cream for everyone! But, to us it means more research, more wondering and more appointments. Our son, so far (Thank God) is the healthiest Autistic boy ever known to the medical community of which we live. Every test comes back normal. No wonder I look like a hypochondriac. What the doctors do not see and can NOT explain is the following: Vomitting all day in throat (GERD, but what is causing it???) constant diarrhea, some sort of verbal processing problem and that is all that we can SEE. I know that there are some biological illnesses that accompany Autism and all we want to know is why is our son so healthy, yet so sick? Are we missing something? Bacteria in the gut? Immune system defficiancy?

Would someone in the medical community kindly give me a list of the tests I need to help my son??????????????

* WHEW.....Deep Breaths........(Mantra music playing in the background now...) I just have to let it out sometimes. This is the most frustrating thing in my life that I have ever had to deal with. And to think I used to believe it was Rush Hour!

I have to give a BIG, warm Thanks to all of you that have been supportive. I must say the most valuable medical advice I have gotten was from other families who are dealing with the same thing. Thank you..Thank You....THANK YOU!
