Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Similar situation here, our son's Neurological dx is brain injury; from stroke either before birth, during birth, or after birth. No one knows for sure when it occurred or why, at age 3 he was diagnosed w/ASD, we were told by his Physician to go watch the movie Rainman and it would inform us of what to expect. Age 8 a few more dx's were added among them a cluster of liquid cysts in left frontal lobe, and mental retardation. All his symptoms are classic autism symptoms. Our son was born at a birthing center w/ a midwife, we had a long, hard birth, mother was asked to stand and lean over the bed to attempt to deliver standing up, w/ no success, triceps were used. All birth reports were normal, from infancy w/ chronic colic, gut, immune and bowel problems.has sensory integration dysfunction severely & CAPD. I've always thought what if autism is caused from a lack of oxygen that lasted only long enough to cause lack of function, and/ or dysfunction, but not quite long enough to cause a complete actual brain injury that could be seen in an MRI. Is it possible that this lack of function/dysfunction could cause the immune problems or the immune problems could cause the lack of oxygen? The stroke (lack of oxygen) would appear to us to have caused his lack of function/dysfunction, his classic autism symptoms, his sensory dysfunction..
