Concerned about thyroid problems in ASD son

[Guest guest]

Hi smart people,

My son turned 2 in May and he was diagnosed in Feburary with ASD. The severity

of the autism was not specified. He is completely non-verbal, does not even say

mama dada and no babbling. He lost his babbling at around 15 months of age and

hasnt babbled since then.

Ok so we are considering chelating him using the AC protocol. We are in the

process of preparing for it. His blood work was done around April of this year

and here are his thyroid results.

TSH 2.78 (Lab Reference Range 0.55-7.10)

Free T4 1.06 (Lab Referece Range 1.2-1.7)

Is he showing some signs of hypothyroidism?

Also, we note that he has low body temperatures in the morning, has cold/sweaty

hand and feet, does not sweat,does not enjoy the outdoors too much. A few months

back, he would have yellowish feet and palms, if he ate food that contained

carotine like carrots and sweet potatoes. He has one teeth that is

crooked/misalligned and generally we feel that he is not growing as he should

be. His height is in the 10th percentile. Weight seems to be OK in the 40th-50th

percentile at 27.8 lbs. Please help me in determining whether the thyroid is a

problem. We havent talked to the DAN doctor or his PED yet about it. Should i

postpone plans for mercury detox until this is taken care of? or is it possible

to take armour thyroid and pursue A/C chelation at the same time? DANA, JAN,

please help.

Thanks

Rochelle.
