Re: Lyme Induced autism? what is the opinion of on this issue?

[Guest guest]

Hi -

My general understanding about the opinion re

this is that in general, it begins with immune

dysfunction and the lyme is a side effect and

potential trigger - not cause. And it may be unlikely

that lyme by itself is the primary problem, although

surely it could be the central infection for some

kids. Certainly not all. Also, you must take into

consideration (I would guess that that group probably

has and has a reason, but I haven't read it) - there

are lots of false positives w/lyme, and in an immune

dysregulatory state, false positives (and sometimes

false negatives like in HHV6) happen, and I'm betting

a lot more often in immune dysfunction/dysregulation.

I'm pretty sure I'm close w/that answer but not

accurate. I think I asked the question when my

son had a tick and that's how I understood the answer.
