Connection between Clomid and Autism?

My nephew was recently diagnosed with autism. He is 4 1/2 years old. I am just wondering if any parents of autistic children are aware of the use of a vacuum suction device used in the delivery of your child. I am curious because my nephew had a hematoma after birth attributed to a vacumm assisted delivery. His head was malshaped for approximately 4 months and I am wondering if this could have anything to do with his language delay and other symptoms on the "autistic spectrum."

Did you find this post helpful?
