Just wondering how many of us on this forum whom like me have children with special needs. I think it might be particularity prevalent among us as I have a spoken to a few people with thyroid issues and children with brain function issues.

children with special needs
I am sure you are onto something. Low B12 & VitD in mums-2-be can have an effect on children in the future. Thyroid sufferers usuall have low levels of both. I have read that the foetus can detect low thyroid hormones and then produce growth hormone to compensate resulting in big babies.
Dr Peatfield covers this in his book - The Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy.
Sally Pacholok has written a book about B12 - specifically aimed at children.
Blimey. All my babies were big ... x
Yes me. I have a son on the autistic spectrum (he was diagnosed with Aspergers). I am not sure if there is a link but it wouldn’t surprise me

I am sure there is a link. If I was young enough to get pregnant again I would do some with some thyroid hormones and plenty of good vitamins. I think mercury in fillings has an effect too.
