In a child with autism, pain becomes debilitating because they can't communicate or cope with pain well. That doesn't mean an allergy or intolerance causes autism, however.

An allergy or intolerance is much worse when it make your nonverbal child irritable and violent, then when it makes your verbal child say "mom, my tummy hurts bad" after you serve pizza.

Now that he's verbal he can describe what it felt like: He was completely off his ass baked. Just high as a kite. Unable to focus he was so high.

Really? Did they do any kind of blood tests with and without wheat germ in his diet? It would be interesting to know what exactly was causing that response. That doesn't really sound like a normal allergic reaction.
