Autism & Hematoma Posted: 12-06-04 01:21am
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."
