Has the clinician considered a comorbidity with ADD/ADHD?

I tested negative for coeliac disease, but gluten fouls up my mood, thinking, and impulse control diminishes radically. Also casein. One of my two sons struggles with it it too, along the lines of what bettyhen said. I've read there are less instances of coeliacs in persons with an asd than the general population, but there is a marked increase in other GI/bowel disorders. I agree with KezT too. Our bowels haven't evolved as quickly as our need for cash from the land! EDIT: to add last line

hopefully the webmaster will consider restricting the 'global' use of the PM system to mods/admin

i've used a logitech trackman wheel for a few years and would recommend it to anyone. you whizz the ball about with your right-hand thumb, the buttons (and scroll wheel) with your fingers. they make a 'trackman marble' which centralises the ball, but no experience of that one. i chose it cos it negates the need for mousemat space ie. you could rest it on your knee if needed!

seems to me the annoyances mentioned have been generated by the media. i don't read newspapers or watch national news... i don't think at any point anyone's said he should be let off/done nothing wrong. point is, he shouldn't be extradited. obviously his legal help are hoping the AS dx will strengthen that point... ongoing comments certainly keep this thread up top for easy access to the link provided though bid, that worked with computers + has girlfriend = clever boy equation is priceless

UK Law for UK Citizens...

i went with more + than - i am also someone that finds the negativity of others brings me down though...only now learning to ignore them and enjoying it

duckymear does Wasteland (Jam cover) keeping the theme from the OP, this was a very influential song for me when...younger

I like a few of John Denver's songs a lot too. My fave is Leaving On a Jet Plane, but not so much the version that appears on the Definitive All Time Greatest album, as it's a bit quicker and has more percussion 'in the mix'! TMHCR is my 2nd fave though...he's one of the few artists my parents had on tape that I can still listen to now...KRaftwerk also spring to mind...well, Autobahn anyway, as opposed to The Model! Anyone do last.fm? I have a few "embarrassing ones" in my history perhaps...I don't think embedding (my chart) here will work, but my username is hhoobb if anyone goes that way! Music really works for me

Hi Just wanted to post here as I've been lurking a bit and haven't posted. I'm father to an eight year old boy with AS (dx about a year ago) and I'm probably in that region of the spectrum myself. I'm no stranger to forums and generally know the drill, so hope to see you about here, in what seems a very nice community
