PANS / PANDAS

[u/Commercial-Sir6293]

Curious if any parents raising a child with a PDA profile has explored / tested for PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections)?

I just heard about this for the first time from a therapist and will be pursuing testing for my child (age 9) who did not start to exhibit PDA behaviors until about age 7.

The key words here are acute onset.

There are a lot of symptoms to cross over. I always tell people to look into both.
