He now takes Vyvanse, he previously too Adderall. He is extremely anxious and has difficulty talking to and playing with other children. When he becomes uncomfortable he acts foolish and silly and will not calm down. (Especially in public) I myself have social anxiety and find it horrifying when this happens. (Which is frequently) However I want to be fair to him and not make his condition worse. Do you have any suggestions on what we can do to help him deal with this? And possible ways to help him open up with others? He also has a tendency to argue about EVERYTHING. I can ask how his day was and he'll go off the handle. Thank you in advance any guidance is appreciated. Please excuse any spelling errors:

If you are allergic or intolerant to gluten or casein, it may be that your symptoms manifest in ADHD like symptoms. Forgetfulness, inability to focus, impatience, etc. Adhering to a gluten and casein free diet - if you are allergic or sensitive - can clear your mind, help you focus, and just be more productive. If you or your family has allergies of any kind, you might want to consider trying this diet for a week or two. I personally know several families who have found great success with it.
