All of you who are so sarcastic about the "conspiracy theories" may want to ask yourselves why your kids have all those allergies. Having an allergy back home was something exceptional and rare. Here everybody has them! And I'd venture to say the situation probably wasn't the same in the past!
Ok. So now you're telling me the lab was in on it when they checked his blood to determine the severity of the peanut allergy I guess you don't have kids with allergies so please don't ridicule and make light of those who do. Don't for a minute try to suggest that parents are causing their children's allergies. How insulting

Couldn't agree with you more! The allergies are wild, the rate of autism is astronomical, asthma is out of control and the same conditions are not exploding at the same rate in other areas of the world.
Clearly there must be something going on with our environment, food, etc. and our bodies can't take it...
Ugh. So true. Anyone who could possibly think being Bipolar is "cool" is an outright moron and has no freaking clue at all about anything about the disease. I would like them to spend a year being bipolar and off of meds and then get back to me on how cool it is.
Or even just spend some time around bipolar people. That in itself is enough to make you realize it's anything but cool. If you want to be "cool," there are just too many other easy ways to do it.

I think that's a good question, but I just don't think it's a conspiracy. I have a cousin who didn't realize her son had a milk allergy until he almost died.
My guess is over the last several decades we have been eating and/or exposed to nuked foods, plastics, preservatives, pesticides, tons of immunizations and god knows what else, so who really knows why?

I find this slightly amusing . . . no doubt the "Aspie" crowd will not!
You may be surprised, I find it both amusing and upsetting, because (the self-diagnosed) this is exactly the reason why those REALLY effected by the dx are forgotten and/or mocked.

I didn't interpret Sierra's post the same way you did...I don't think she was implying that the labs are in on anything, or you are not being truthful, or that parents are causing these diseases.
It makes everyone wonder why all of these things are happening...if you have time you may find it interesting to read some of the studies about auto immune disease (which allergies are considered an immune response). Our family has several cases of auto immune disease and reading some of the reputable literature makes one scratch their heads in question.

There's no doubt there are Internet attention whores who call themselves Aspie to excuse trollish behavior, but that doesn't change the fact that there are people who are diagnosed by doctors who legitimately have Asperger's.
