The cause of PDD-NOS?

My have one son, 27 months, recently diagnosed as PDD-NOS, Vineland scales: communication 74, socialization 76. I have always wondered whether one incidence I had during early pregnancy has caused my son's disorder...as from my reading, autism could result from the disruption of normal brain development early in fetal development caused by defects in genes that control brain growth and that regulate how neurons communicate with each other.



Two years ago when I was 11-week pregnancy, I had the first appointment in hospital for pregnancy blood test. I was instructed by phone to eat more than usual for the blood test in the morning. When I got to the lab, a nurse bound my right arm extremely tight and drew six bottles of my blood (5 bottles of average size, and one bottle twice size of others) in less than one minute. She finished her job in such a swift speed that I was short of time to raise question why she took such huge amount for blood test.



That night, after my blood was drawn, I couldn't fall asleep because I had an extremely sore throat, inflamed tongue and my lips cracked very badly, I drank one gallon of cold water and frequented the bathroom all night. For the following two weeks, in addition to these symptoms each night, I have had bad headaches and developed a very poor appetite, my diet is basically pure starch (derived from wheat crackers) and water.



I have raised this issue to my doctor, but he said I am perfectly fine.The cause of PDD-NOS?
My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at 26 months. He started getting symptoms after his 15 month vaccinations. My life was changed when I found the website www.generationrescue.org



We are doing the biomedical treatment for autism and our son is on the road to recovery. This is NOT a quick fix. This is healing the body of medical problems. The medical problems (i.e. food allergies, yeast overgrowth, nutritional deficiencies, heavy metal toxicity) were responsible for his symptoms that gave him the diagnosis of PDD-NOS.



The healing that is going on in his body is decreasing or totally taking away his ASD symptoms. I encourage you to check this site out. It has changed our lives for the better but remember to be patient and always continue to look for answers to bring recovery to your child. You won't regret it.



The cause of PDD-NOS?
You probably had a lot of blood tests, and that's why they needed so much blood. You need to ask your doctor about this. Make him give you a copy of the blood test results. They are your test results, you paid for them, and by law, you are entitled to a copy. There will probably be pages and pages of results from that much blood being drawn.



Having a blood tests doesn't cause any diseases or medical conditions in this day and age. Unless the place was extremely unsanitary??



Based on your symptoms, I would get your thyroid tested, if you haven't already.
