call me jaded Report post Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) My son definitely has something wrong with his metabolism. Now that his immune system is working we are looking into this. We're a long way off from doing anything about it though. Edited June 20, 2005 by call me jaded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas Report post Posted June 21, 2005 I once again choose to side with the belief that it is Autism affecting the thingy and not the other way round. I say most Autistics have a degree of control over themselves which they are ignorant of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
call me jaded Report post Posted June 21, 2005 Hmmm the chicken and egg question. Or cause and effect. Does my son's autism affect his immune system, or is it because his immune system is up the creak that he's autistic? All I know is when his immune system started working he became less autistic in a very positive way. And as I believe there is an autistic core in all of us, I'm not looking for a cure. Not sure about the degree of control over immune system or metabolism, Lucas. Care to enlighten me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
