I'm starting to wonder if my son may it too. I don't know if it is me just being paranoid though or if my concerns are legit.

He is 11; in the gifted program at school and was diagnosed at a young age with aspergers. That diagnosis is legit, and I have no doubt in my mind about that, but he has had some other behavioral changes recently.

I just got an email from one of his teachers. He is having trouble completing his work....often just staring out into space. He has insommnia which is new and I was told by another doc he has adhd....which is also a fairly new diagnosis. The thing that bugged me the most in the email from the teacher was that she said he is pulling on his hair so hard it is coming out. I just started crying and thought....omg, I hope he doesn't have it too!

Am I being paranoid?

I'm glad I have answers too and while I'm relieved, I'm also 'scared'. Not sure why.

Philly78,

Listen to your parental instincts and get him tested. Better to waste some money on a negative test than to worry about it.

You're not going to get any piece of mind until you get him tested.

I know we all have a tendency to see the world through "Lyme Green" glasses, but most of us know someone with Lyme when we see it...

It is good that you have found out.. but yes, it is scary and unsettling at the same time.

I agree with stillwater too.

Tincup insisted that I dance, so here goes!

Welcome to our exclusive club!
