Re: Has anyone taken a poll about meds parents are on?

[Guest guest]

My family and I participated in a study done here in Texas which was done

by Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. It was called

the simon simplex collection. Don't know what the results of the study

were. The doctor heading the study was Dr. Robin Kochel (832) 822-4299. This

was a study where the parents taking medication, aside from blood being

drawn from all family members was part of the study. And from what I was

explained, it was a study which took place and combined the results from

families participating in 16 other states.

I had a friend in Hawaii who was on medications (Prozac, Concerta, Strattera),

always something different, and it still haunts me to this day that her daughter

and my son have the same speech delay. Their articulation is hauntingly

similar. I have never been on medication other than antibiotics when I was

young, neither has my husband. Both she and I had a sensitivity to milk though.

If you are really looking for a connection, look into food allergies causing

mood disorders. IgG is passed from mother to child and I have a monkey study

where monkey mothers were given human IgG from mothers with autistic children

and their offspring had increased hyperactivity and autistic behaviors.

We weren't on any daily meds until well after my son was born. I occasionally

took some tylenol during the preg, and was sick enough to take cough medicine

once (dr approved).

There's no apraxia in the family. There are speech delays, and I've heard that

apraxia tends to have a family history of them.

> We have no milk sensitivities in the family, but it sounds like your

friend has ADD (ADHD?) or depression? There are family members who are bi-polar/

schizo, and ADD also. Wonder if there's a connection. My son's dr told me that

neuro issues can change through the generations - an audio processing disorder

dad can have a visual processing disorder child, etc.

As far as speech being similar- A friend and I have seen a few apraxic boys

since my son got dx'ed, and I knew because they seem to sound exactly like my

son. My friend is usually nervy enough to ask if their child is apraxic, and

they look shocked that she could see it, just based on her knowing my son.
