Hi Chemar, I am new to Latitudes but have found your posts so helpful. Thank you for all the time you invest even now that your son is grown. My son is 8 and dx with Tourettes but he also has many Aspergers behaviors. I have a couple questions regarding what worked for your son. When you treated for Candida did you completely eliminate all sugar and simple carbs in addition to using the supplements? For how long? What specific OT therapies helped him? Did you ever do testing for autoimmunity or compromised immune system? If so, what tests? I really believe this is a key link to all the neurodevelopmental disorders. What are your concerns with neurofeedback? My pediatrician is very hot on this and has opened a neurofeedback center. Thank you!!! Lisa

This is my first post. My son is dx Tourettes but I am convinced he also has Aspergers. I have read and researched extensively and the idea that makes the most sense to me is that compromised immune systems are the underlying to key to many of these neurological disorders. I want to have him tested but am not sure how to go about it. Did you take your son to a DAN doctor? What tests did you do? Could I have them done directly from a lab or do you think there is value in having a specialist interpret the results? I think he probably also has a problem with Candida.
