Pit Drip Gets Hit: Pitocin and Autism

As a mother who was given massive amounts of Pitocin to induce my

labor (2 weeks late) for the birth of our 4th child -- a son, now 8 years

old with autism. I have always felt Pitocin played an integral role in our

son developing autism. I'd read that Dr. Hollander (psychiatrist,

researcher) of New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine noticed several

years ago that 60 percent of the autistic patients in his clinic had been

exposed in the womb to Pitocin, the synthetic version of a brain chemical

(oxytocin) that helps induce labor. That could be significant, since only 20

percent of all births are assisted by Pitocin. Or it could be a meaningless

coincidence. In the hope of finding out, Hollander is now tracking 58,000

kids whose mothers’ treatments were monitored during pregnancy.

I contacted Dr. Hollander's office this morning and was told the

research is presently ongoing. I was told all mothers interested in

participating or learning more about this research are invited to call them

at: (212) 241-3623 so that a small information packet may be forwarded

directly to you. - Wanda Brown

I find it hard to believe that only 20% of all births are assisted by pit. I've

never heard of a hospital birth that wasn't.

shelby,

i agree with you--it's got to be more like 20% of births DON'T involve

pitocin and 80% DO (instead of the other way around). almost everyone i know

had pitocin. i had a hospital birth (twice) which didn't involve it, but

even my last one, the ob tried to get me to schedule an induction before i

was even due!! too scary and unnecessay. this article is very scary!!
