It's immune system related. I don't know if a cold is enough to bring the level

up that high. I would speak to his DR.

There is also a theory that some ASD kids have immune systems that are out of

whack, so you might want to get him tested again when totally healthy, then seek

out a specialist if it's still very high.

Thanks for your replies. Our DR said it's fine. She would worry it was too low,

because then the TTG results would be invalid. But she is not a DAN DR just a

regular DR that works with the Kaiser Autism diagnostic group that we took our

ds for evaluation.
