When I was a kid nobody was Autistic and nobody had a nut allergy (snicker snicker.. nut allergy) what the hell has happened in the last 40 years?

According to this article, it's because of video games and incessant hand washing (last paragraph):

"Or maybe it's all the videogames. Scientists think vitamin D, which the body needs sunlight to make, helps the immune system label substances as innocuous and thus build up a tolerance. Children who spend less time outdoors tend to be deficient in D, Wood says, so their body might mislabel peanut proteins as dangerous. Parents looking to protect their kids might consider sending them outside -- and not washing their hands when they come home."

The current leading theory is that too many antibiotics (in small children) can kill off the helpful bacteria in the gut that prevents food allergies.

So give the kid bacteria for Halloween.

Make sure the bacteria are nut-free, though.

It would be difficult, as a parent, to see the sadness in a child who felt deprived and excluded. I can see that feeling leading to ill-conceived actions out of a desire to protect one's child from that excluded feeling. Life, however, has some harsh lessons for us all. Lessons thrust upon us at times not of our choosing, as who would ever choose such. Desperation and helplessness are difficult feelings to address properly.

I like the parents in here who have found constructive ways to deal with the issue. I'm sure we have parents with other, analogous issues, whether because of child onset diabetes, tumors, cancer, or other physical or metal disabilities or challenges. In the end, sometimes, one simply has to accept that life is not fair.

The other one is people who are vegan and such who prevent their kids from doing some things like this. I remember one of my little girl's friends (6-7 at the time) coming over to our house when my girl was having lunch and saying "Gee, I wish I could have macaroni and cheese." I was serving the original blue box-type stuff.

Oldest son had a slumber party for his bday last year. He turned 12. One of the kids he invited is a complete spazz with absentee parents. They dropped him off at our house around 4pm and the kid - who has horrible manners - comes in and announces "I'M STARVING!".

"Okay, Aiden, what can I get you?"

"Let me see what you have. I'm deathly allergic to all nuts, flour, rice, wheat, meats, air, intelligence...."

We ended up taking all the boys out to a pizza joint with video games to keep them occupied. I had to order this kid some chicken wings and forced the manager to let me read the ingredients on the frozen back of wings and make sure they didn't add any oils while cooking them up. Such a hassle. Kid just sat there shrugging his shoulders when I asked him anything.

Look, I don't ask for much, but if you are going to send your kid to my house with a list of allergies longer than the Great Wall of China, ####### feed him first or pack him some food he can eat. They were late picking him up the next day too. Practically booted the kid to his car.

 
This parent needs to start their own Allergen Trunk Or Treat. And have epi pens on hand cuz middle school kids love the pranks.
