Re: Possible causes of autism article

[Guest guest]

This article is purely speculation. I really doubt the diabetes link. I never

had any gestational diabetes, not only that, but if I am the problem how come my

daughter is so

bright & my son is DS & autistic? I have a couple of friends who did have

gestational diabetes & had a normal kids. Obviously they have no factual

evidence.

I have to wonder about the virus thing. That seems to make more sense to me.

If a child has a mitochondrial genetic condition, then is hit with some kind of

virus (possibly from a vaccination), it could be a trigger.

Here is the link to the article:

I don't agree with the idea that gestational diabetes can cause autism. I've had

gestational diabetes with all 7 of my children. Only ph appears to have

autism. I think it has more to do with viruses and food dyes. ph regressed

and started displaying autistic tendencies after he had the flu when he was

about 1 1/2 years old.
