Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 My son doesn't have tremors and I cannot remember a time when he did. His handwriting isn't very good at all, but you should see him build stuff with Lego. He can also make robots out of cardboard and draw quite complicated stuff on a computer screen using a mouse. His drawing is actually quite good, generally. Tremors is an indication of mercury poisoning (one of many) but I've never seen it in my son or any of the other children I know with autism (which is only about 10 so not a great sampling). marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I had a triplet pregnancy, two boys and one girl. My autistic daughter has no tremors. But, her brother, who has mild ADD yet is not in the slightest autistic, has very noticeable hand tremors. He also walks on his tippy-toes, has very sensitive hearing, and has a bumpy rash on his face and backs of his arms. I noticed the hand tremors when he was about 4 years old. I also believe he is dyslexic and we are having him tested on Monday. He seems to have so many physical symptoms that are found in children with autism and point to mercury poisoning, but he is not autistic nor Aspergers and is very bright. Even so, my daughter is the one who regressed into autism after 14 months. Since mercury has a tendency to stick to itself, could it be just a matter of where in the body the mercury congregated that affects symptomology?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Donna, A professional should be able to determine the type of tremor that your son has, from there they might be able to determine what could be causing it. Tremors are not always caused by metals. Best, Carlton > I had a triplet pregnancy, two boys and one girl. My autistic > daughter has no tremors.
