Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'm wondering if my child was misdiagnosed with autism but really having the condition called Maple syrup urine disorder. He always smells like maple syrup, Sweat, breath, urine. He always smells sweet like that. People with MSUD can't metabolize leucine, and my sons amino acid test came back with having problem with leucine. If you have a variant of MSUD (there are different severeties) and it goes untreated it can cause brain damage.!! It may explain why nothing ever worked for him.....and we tried every autism treatment under the sun.. Thoughts???? Anyone else's child smell like this????
