[quote=Anonymous]Just curious here whether this is an ASD thing or just our DS.  When he is sick even with something minor like a cold, it's like it's the end of the world.  He had a respiratory virus last weekend and it was four days of h*ll for our entire household while DS whined, screamed, refused all medicine, stopped eating/drinking and basically acted like he had Ebola.  All the positive things in the world couldn't convince him to talk cough medicine or drink water until I told him we would have to go to the hospital if he didn't drink something (totally true because I was worried about him getting dehydrated).  He had a very low grade over for one day and a cough.  I know he was sick but in the grand scheme of things it was a relatively minor illness.  It seemed to exacerbate all ASD symptoms too.  Thankfully he's been pretty healthy for awhile so I had forgotten but it reminded me when he was younger that we used to dread him getting sick because it was so awful.  Does this happen to other people too?  [/quote]
