They get extremely belligerent. But it’s because their brain has no energy. It’s not even their brain. Their body is just going crazy and they can’t control their functions. And every single diabetic that I’ve ever worked with that has one of these episodes never remembers. It’s a complete blackout that shows it did didn’t really happen in the brain. The brain goes completely off-line. My guess will be that the blood sugar crash that some autistic children get is 100 times more severe than a autistic person

This has been so interesting to read and I feel so validated after a lifetime of being labelled as just being “bad”. I would love to take part in any further studies into this.

This problem continues for years and years without anyone actually helping to let us know how to help them. This is the first article I’ve read that perhaps gives something to start with. And my son is 30.

He has been diagnosed with autism at the age 2. We asked if tongue tie was the problem, we have been told no, and no one seems to care. This is sad because these medical professionals don’t want to listen to the parents who are going through a lot.

It’s like nobody cares or will admit that mouth breathing and crowded teeth aren’t normal. Her teeth are extremely crowded and she’ll be getting braces within the year. Her school diagnosed her with a speech impediment this year but i can’t get a referral to a speech therapist via her pediatrician. i still don’t know what to do. my daughter is currently being evaluated for autism.
