Elevated lactic acid levels, what does this mean?

[Guest guest]

My ds, age 2, who is being evaluated for autism had blood tests come

back with slightly elevated lactic acid levels. I have looked this

up but want to know what the signifigance can be between that finding

and autism. Can anyone help me out here? We are redoing the test

because the doc said that usually when they are elevated they are

very elevated and his is only slightly so she wants to make sure the

result was accurate. This is a pediatrician but she seems open to

listening to what I have to say (in the course of evaluating for

autism in addition to a full blood testing workup she is also sending

us for EEG, MRI, allergy testing, pediatric opthamologist, private

eval, etc..,). I know there is only so far she can go but if there

is some connection here that she may not know about with autism I

would like to give it a shot letting her know. If you know or have

heard about any connection between elevated lactic acid on a blood

test and autism, please let me know. Thanks, Meggie
