Signs and symptoms

Patients with atopic eczema usually develop what is referred to as the “allergic triad” of symptoms i.e., eczema, hayfever, and asthma. They also have a tendency to have food allergies, and other symptoms characterized by their hyperallergic state. For example, eosinophilic esophagitis is found associated with atopic allergies. Atopy and atopic eczema can be considered a genetic disease because of its strong genetic component, but atopy does not segregate like an autosomal dominant trait. There are certain environmental factors that contribute to its appearance in infants and children, but the underlying cause is a genetic tendency to be hyperallergic. Atopic eczema cannot be prevented in infants because of its genetic origins.
Atopic syndrome can be fatal for those who experience serious allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, brought on by reactions to food or environment.
The individual components are all caused at least in part by allergy (type I hypersensitivity reactions). These responses appear after the body is exposed to various allergens, for example specific kinds of food, pollen, dander or insect venoms. Although atopy has various definitions, most consistently it is defined by the presence of elevated levels of total and allergen-specific IgE in the serum of patient, leading to positive skin-prick tests to common allergens.
The multicenter PARSIFAL study in 2006, involving 6630 children age 5 to 13 in 5 European countries, suggested that restrictive use of antibiotics and antipyretics, are associated with a reduced risk of allergic disease in children.[7]

Not that I know of. I know someone on the spectrum, who is.

Yep, had a lot of hay fever, allergies, asthma and skin conditions over the years. Not so much now.

Its if you have the migraine, allergic reactions, asthma and hay-fever type symptoms. Im not sure how many you need to be classed as atopic but I know you dont need all of them. Im shure you would know before you reach 35 years old, lucky you

My dermatologist told me it's the combination of asthma, allergies, and eczema. Which I have. It runs in families including mine. Both autistic and nonautistic people in my family have it (but the nonautistic family members are not neurologically standard just nonautistic).

Migraines run in my family too but I never heard of that being an atopic thing.

To the OP. I won't let you stop making polls, until you reach poll #700.

I don't have those things. I have some allergies and stuff, but no food allergies or anything.

just 698 to go then Hhhmmmmm let me think....
