What is the connection between mitochondrial disease and autism?

[Guest guest]

Please join MitoAction for an informational discussion regarding autism and

mitochondrial disease.

 

If you are a parent concerned that your child doesn't " fit " the typical

presentation of a child with autism, PDD, or ASD because of underlying medical

issues, please read about autism and mitochondrial disease.  Research in this

area is still evolving and the connection between the two diseases, although

recognized for over a decade, is rapidly gaining traction and attention. 

 

The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation symposium recently took place in

Arizona and a whole day of the schedule was set aside to discuss the connection

between mitochondrial disease and autism.  Please join us for an informal

discussion about what was discussed at that meeting.

 

Join MitoAction every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 12:30 pm EST to participate in

an open task force and resource-share by telephone, 1-866-414-2828, enter code

017921# at the prompt.  (All are welcome - feel free to post this on other

groups that would benefit from participating!)

Hope you can make the call.
