Hi everyone!
New here. :-) I was watching a talk on youtube given by Dr. Trifiletti and I wanted to ask about your experiences. He says that kids age two or under tend to develop something that looks like autism, at age 3-4 onset kids develop something called "infantile mania" and then tend to develop something that looks like high-function autism, and in older kids tics and OCD tend to dominate.
When I looked up infantile mania, it came from an old book and it said "Acute maniacal attacks, in which the patient tears and destroys everything within reach, or creeps under tables and sofas to hide, screamin with undisguised rate and biting and scratching anyone who approaches. This attack subsides and the boy behaves as nicely and as intelligently as possible, but in a few days has a recurrence as great as before."
Is this consistent with your experiences with your kids? Have you ever visited Dr. Trifiletti and has he talked about this? If you have a kid that got PANS/PANDAS at age two or under, does it look like autism?
