Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I have been reading about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) lately. I would like to share with you the info I gathered.

According to a study published in Molecular Psychiatry (Brimberg, L. et al, 2013), one in 10 women who have a child with autism have immune molecules (antibodies) in their bloodstream that react with protein in the brain. Researchers say these anti brain antibodies do not harm the brains of the mothers who produce them because of the blood brain barriers, a filter that prevents most molecules from entering the brain.

But the immature or blood brain of a developing fetus may let the maternal auto antibodies pass through the placenta, allowing them to damage the fetal brain and perhaps cause autism.

Women who have autism linked antibodies are more likely to have other markers of autoimmune diseases, esp. rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease, asthma, Type I diabetes. A 2009 Danish study that examined autoimmune disorders in more than 600,000 children born between 1993 and 2004, concluded that the risk of autism more than doubles for children who have a mother with RA or Celiac disease.

 

How would you deal with Autoimmune Diseases?
