Hello!

Wondered if I'm missing any triggers... my ds (7) with and Autism diagnosis, ADHD pending has recently been very calm and I've done the old getting excited about turning a corner just to come back down to reality with a bump! Since Friday he has talked non stop been hysterically laughing and struggling to sleep... it's not a complete personality change just more like he's on max mode! We have had little phases of this before so I'm keen to get what other people have noticed if their child is the same. I thought it might have been Pringles he had on Thurs, Friday and Saturday, he eats quite healthily normally so that is a change but still seeing the behaviour now... he's full of a cold so might be some sort of dysregulation so will keep that in mind for next time. No other changes in his routine etc...

I would suspect it was DS’s cold.

Constipation can also result in behavioural changes if that’s a possibility.
