Jaundice causing Aspergers?

[Guest guest]

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.
