[quote=Anonymous]Of course, no one really knows what causes autism but some of the latest research suggests that untreated maternal auto-immune problems may be a significant factor. The bodies of women with undiagnosed and/or untreated immune problems are thought to produce antibodies that attack fetal brain protein during prenatal development. It's scary stuff for those of us who've been diagnosed with immune issues. Here's an article that discusses some of this research: [url]http://blog.autismspeaks.org/2010/04/19/dan-van-de-water/[/url] The Beer Center has also done work on this issue and found that IVIG taken during and prior to pregnancy actually [i]reduces[/i] the risk of autism and ADHD in the children of women with immune problems. Dr. Beer talks about this in his book.
