Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Don't know what started this thread but thought I would chime in. I am almost 48. Two grown, married natural children, 1 grandson, 4 adopted younger children (13y/o, 9y/o with CP and LD, boy-girl twins 7y/o, boy with CAPD and girl with autism, etc.). Know I couldn't have done this family justice in my 20's but boy I sure do get tired easier at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Seems strange to say, but I guess I am an " older mom " too. I am 44 and the mother of a 2 year old dx with autism. Don't feel old, but am looking it (having an autistic son doesn't help!)....Kim --- In , " Gail B. " <gailbuf@h...> wrote: > I'm an " older " mom!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 This is making me wonder (just thinking out loud here) if there is any possible connection to being older when giving birth (? >35) and having an autistic child - or a child who is more sensitive to vaccine poisoning, etc. > > >me too...maybe this warrents a poll? > > > > > > Ok good idea but what are we looking for?

Maybe mom having more years to accumulate more toxins to pass on to unborn child? Or perhaps change in hormonals causing circulating toxins. Sometime back I read about menopause and lead and how the change in the worman's hormones at that time caused more lead to be leached out of the bones possibly causing some of the menopausal mood problems. This had had me wondering about this and the historic problems of older mom's having more chances of unhealthy babies. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi, You can count me in, too.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I was 33 when I had Nicky. My aunt thought the autism was because I had a child at this " great " age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Perhaps there is, but I was 28 yrs old when I gave birth to my daughter, second child. I wouldn't think of 28 as older, but perhaps so. In fact, I had my last baby at 31, but she hasn't been vaccinated at all.
