Re: Jaundice causing Aspergers?

[Guest guest]

Haven't read this thread yet, but will add my NT son was jaundiced. My Aspie

son and his twin (also NT) were not.

> This is a comment to the member asking if anyone heard on the news that

jaundice is related to ASD's. Again, they are grasping at straws. My firstborn

NT daughter was so severely jaundiced she was hospitalized for three days and

then was sent home with a visiting nurse under lights for four more days. She

is sixteen and there have been no adverse effects. My Aspie daughter was also

jaundiced at birth but very slightly and the bilirubin levels came down within

hours. So how do you explain how one kid with severe jaundice came out NT and

the other with somewhat elevated levels turned out ASD? Don't believe everything

you hear, particularly on the news. Research is the key - More money must be

poured into research on all levels for kids with ASD instead of coming up with

off the wall explanations like this and also innoculations being the cause.

Perhaps it just depends on when the jaundice occurs. My second born (NT) had it but my first child (ASPIE) did not. But maybe he did earlier. I read a bunch of stuff on vitamin D and autism at the vitamin D council. This along with a lot of other theories all seem to fit together. Its seems that lots of the theories all have one thing in common (inflammation). Vitamin D, Leaky Gut, GFCF diet, autoimmune disorder, mercury poisoning, etc., ettc.....

The research did say that they didn't know if the link between the two was some genetic abnormality that causes both....or if the two were directly linked. They're not saying that this is a definite...just that there appears to be a possible link.
