--stood alone in corner of playground
--frequent emotional breakdowns, crying, frustration
Chase struggled socially – lived in his own world,

--would get nervous, then stutter, so kids ostracized him
On medications for ADHD which reduced his appetite, caused him to withdraw and become neutral … no personality.. Like a “ Zombie” and made him nauseous in the morning.
Diet – LOTS of soda pop, no vegetables, salty snacks, packaged macaroni and cheese ( most foods he ate were loaded with artificial coloring & flavoring ) janeen
