WAS Re: School problem - need help, advice... please??? - NOW it's PANDAS

[Guest guest]

Thanks Ruth! The PANDAS thing DOES sound like my son...he has every symptom

described. Has anyone had any experience with this? It sounds like I need to

have him tested for STREP...even though he doesn't have any symptoms, he could

still have a low grade streptococci going on, right??

On the school thing, I have gotten Protection & Advocacy involved and they'll be

at the next ARC meeting.... in the meantime, they have said he's not learning

anything, but they are very resistant to saying they can't handle him - they're

taking the opposite tact, saying he can't handle school ;~(

Thanks for any and all help. Shelley
