Postnasal drip in Children with Autism

A lot of parents of Autistic children report that their child suffers from an almost constant postnasal drip, which basically means that there is always fluid dripping down the backs of the child's nasal passages.

Nathan suffered from this malady and I noticed the other day that it does not seem to be bothering him as much.

In the past before we started the NAET treatments, this seemed to be a constant thing. He would almost constantly be clearing his throat and snorting through his nose as if there was liquid in there.

Since he started the NAET treatments, this has decreased to the point that I almost never hear him clearing his throat anymore.

This would lead me to believe that the postnasal drip is allergy related and if that is the case, how many more symptoms of Autism are caused by allergies.

If you have a child with Autism, I would highly recommend that you at least get your child tested for allergies.

Over time, a postnasal drip can only corrode the canals that it travels down and it must be annoying as all heck for the child who has to almost constantly be clearing their throat.
