I wondered if the recent upsurge in dual diagnosis (ds and autism) might be we are receiving a more accurate diagnosis because of greater Autism awareness.

Hi Caroline

No I’m afraid I can’t make a trip from Florida but I think it’s fantastic that this conference is happening. The pdf pretty much lays out the suspected causes….much the same as for “regular” Autism. You take a kid with a genetic disposition or a messed up gene system, mix in immunity issues, neurological problems, medical etc. etc. then slam them with environmental insults and you often get Autism (or Asthma, Allergies, ADHD etc.). Our kids are prime candidates.

Wow, that is incredible......what do they attribute the steep rise in the dual diagnosis, anyone? So, Sherry, are you coming to this conference? I hope to, but I don't have much of an excuse, it is within easy driving distance from WI.
