Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 My older son (nearly 12 years old, ADHD, Anxiety Disorder) has responded really well to GF/CF diet, supplements, some AC chelation (we have more to do). Many of the behaviors that got him his diagnosis have disappeared. One that persists, though, is seeking out intense reactions from other people. Example: Uses rude language and then is pleased by the shocked look on my face, " I love to see that look, " he says, and doesn't mind being sent to his room for it. Example: Provokes other children so that they chase him in anger. Example: Plays " swords " with plastic light sabers until the other child gets hit on the hand (it hurts). At times (it is not constant) he seems to need intense or extreme reactions from other people, and most often these are negative. He doesn't get the same pleasure from strong positive reactions. (He does receive compliments, positive reinforcement, etc. from other behaviors.) Does this point to any particular nutritional or neurotransmitter deficit? Any supplement I could try?
