gail I to think stature is not from autism but more genetics. I to be of

only 5.1 and my childrens are all much short from peers. I to know some who

are much short like me too but have met some tall ones, for some though I to

think diet interfers because of so much sensory that it thwarts growth in a

huge way. My son who had also failure to thrive is now 12 almost 13 and he

is so much tiny for boy hims age and is much thought to be only 8 or 9 by

most who to sees him. My Missy who is 10 is almost equal in height to hims.

Hi Gail,

As Sondra said, it is really a matter of genetics, but also nutrition

plays a large role. My daughter was born premature and very tiny with

little to no body fat. Her doctors told me she would probably always

be small and sickly. I knew that was a bunch of baloney and proceeded

to give her the very finest nutrition. The concoctions I feed her are

a bit unusual but she gets more nutrition in one day than most kids get

in a week. Consequently she is only 3 but is bigger and stronger and

healthier than the 5-year old BOYS in her pre-school class. We are not

short in my family but not particularly tall either. I think she will

be taller than average primarily due to her excellent nutrition.
