Connection between parental use of ADHD drugs and Autism

[Guest guest]

I am looking for any evidence of research into a connection between the use of

ADHD drugs and increases in Autism in the offspring of said users. California

now has amoung the largest localized elivated occurences of autism in the

country. Coinsidentily they were the first state to overperscribe for ADHD. The

timing is right but has this ever been looked at scientifically. Right now in

this country we are perscribing ADHD drugs to about 12% of our children even

though experts say at most only 3-5% of them could have ADHD. Now that this

practice has basically taken over our country are we goung to be looking at

tremendouse increases in autism over the next 20 years?

I don't know about this.  But, I think if you view Dr. G's Tarzana video you

will gain insight into the plausible cause between ADHD and viral issues.  I

have a 6 yo on his protocol and I was only diagnosed with ADD a year ago and

then placed on Adderal ( I am an extremely young 37).  I need to discuss this

with Dr. G and see if I shouldn't have some antivirals in place.
