My recovered autistic child, who had a strong immune system by 5, developed bacteiial pnemonia after attending a typical swimming camp this summer for 7 weeks. He had to take three antibotics to heal the pnemonia, and he had never had lung issues. While his health decreased...his personality increased...he made friends...learned how to hangout with the boys. since the antibotics, he did begin an imaginary game that looks like a stim and I am fighting this new battle now with probiotics and enyzmes.
