Fever!

A study suggests that children with autism spectrum disorders who were suffering from a fever showed behavior changes.  Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, pediatric neurologist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, believes that poor connections between the synapses in the brain causes the behavior problems and lack of social and language skills in children with autism spectrum disorders.  Dr. Zimmerman wonders which synapses are involved and how to stimulate them.

His study consisted of two groups of children with autism spectrum disorders.  One group of children had fevers while another group didn't.  Their parents filled out questionnaires about behaviors during the week.  The children with fevers showed changes, but only temporary because the new behaviors disappeared with the fevers.

I don't recall acting differently whenever I had a fever.  I don't know what to make of this.
