Hi,
Just wondered how many families here have children on the Autism Spectrum or had Tourettes. My daughter 8 yrs, has Autism, Gerds, OCD, Tourettes, and allergies. My 12 yr old is one the higher end of the specrum, has multiple allergies, and fetal valproate syndrome. My oldest 15 yrs, has develpment delays(dyslexia), phobias, and connective tissue disorder.
Anyone have a family history of mental illness? We have family members on both sides of our family with mental illness. We have wondered if this might be somewhat related to food allergies or intolerances. Especially, Schizoprenia...Celiac Disease?
Thanks
Diana
