Yeah, suuuuure you don't.
Hubby still tries to give me crud about that game, and for some reason it does bug me, even though I'm really not a sports fan.
re: diet and various diagnosable things... if a health care provider had ever, and only, seen Eamon after he ate anything corn syrup related, he'd be most likely diagnosed with something. Autism spectrum, possibly. I actually read a list of diagnosing characteristics of Oppositional Defiance Disorder and it fit him to a tee, when he was eating that stuff. I think he hit every one on the list.
Disneyland food has helped us hone in on what he can't eat, actually. Behavior after eating a Dole Whip caused me to look up the ingredients and now we know he can't even have corn syrup *solids*. Smuckers Uncrustables should have never crossed his lips, but I just figured "where's the harm in PB&J" until I read the package as he was halfway through a sandwich. I told him about the ingredients (corn syrup AND high fructose corn syrup in it) and he chose to not finish it, then we found an empty space for him to run around in circles safely for 20 minutes or so. There was some other food product that was an "aha" moment at DLR but I can't remember.
I've learned since then that food dyes can have the same effect on some kids. Since more "whole" foods don't tend to have food dyes, I don't know if DS has a partial reaction to dyes, b/c no one is willing to experiment with it (especially him).
Plain old CORN can cause this reaction in some. Thankfully DS can have corn and even cornstarch (that one comes into play b/c it's in powdered sugar, which is what he has on pancakes if we don't have our pure maple syrup with us) without a problem.
I've also learned in the last few months that people have have HUGE reactions that look just like DS's corn syrup product reaction to gluten (it doesn't just make people belly-sick!) and even DAIRY.
Now when I have dairy it heightens my allergies overall, but I don't have a behavioral reaction, and I didn't realize it could cause emotional/behavioural stuff at all until I read of people who dumped dairy from their, or their kid's, diet and found that the behavior disappeared!
So anyway, that's our story. We were just getting ready to start asking questions about the ways that Eamon was behaving when I had my "aha" moment over a DumDum lollipop (20 minutes after having it he was physically attacking me in a very viscious manner). Since finding out about Uncrustables, it helped to explain some very unpleasant zoo trips when he was 2. I was looking through some old pictures and I found some pix I took of my face when he was around 2 and had run up to me, squeezed my face HARD and then scratched the blanketyblank out of it, and I wish I knew what he'd eaten beforehand!
Because we figured it out, and because he's fine without that in his diet, we never bothered with a diagnosis, so I can't say for sure, but especially looking at the ODD list and various other diagnosing symptom lists I'm fairly sure that he would have been diagnosed with something, if I hadn't found that he had a dietary link.
And I think that Heather had noticed some dietary link with her boy, though I forget what it was.
So with some people, I definitely think that diet is either THE problem (like my guy) or A problem, and it certainly doesn't hurt to look at diet, either to solve the problem or help make it better, or at least find out IF it's a problem at all.
So that's our experience.
Oh, and adding to it..the things that DS cannot have are things that make hubby pass out, and they also shoot hubby's blood sugar through the roof. He hasn't had the antibody testing yet to find out what "type" of diabetes he has (waiting for our insurance year to start again in April), but his mom has an atypical type 1 (she controls blood sugar withOUT insulin, even though she's type 1, which is unusual), so I wouldn't be surprised if hubby has an unusual type as well. And all of that blood sugar stuff in Robert's family makes us VERY careful with DS, b/c he has those reactions to the same foods that cause hubby to have (opposite) reactions.
I could talk about this for ages. It's fascinating to me.
I was so thrilled! He was clearly making it known that he missed me! 
Bring on the chicken strips!
