"Hello all, \n  \nI'm new to this forum. My 9 y.o. Son was recently diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS and its been a whirlwind learning process for me. He also was diagnosed with Aspergers/PDD-NOS at age 7 and now we are questioning everything. \n  \nThe immunologist we are currently seeing has a research background in both PANS and immune dysfunction in autism. We are beginning to believe that either our son is in this subset of children with immune dysfunction and autism that develop PANS as a related disorder, or that he was totally mis-diagnosed. Last week he received an IV dose of solumedrol for his flare and for a few days EVERYTHING went away, including all of his autistic traits! Sadly it was only temporary but we are hoping its a sign of things to come. His speech improved, he made eye contact, he was calm &amp; connected and social, and he lost all of his sensory sensitivities. Even his handwriting dramatically improved. It was a miracle to see him change so dramatically.  \n  \nAnyway I'm sorry to hijack this thread. I just wanted to say that the more I learn and research and read, the less I feel I know. Everything we believed to be true about our son for the last two years has been turned upside down. Our family has been in crisis mode ever since but I finally feel like we are going to get our son back. \n  \n Thank you all for sharing your stories online. I've been lurking here &amp; It has really helped me over the past two months. \n"
