I am just wondering....how many moms with children on the spectrum were exposed to Pitocin during labor? They have just released information about Oxytocin and some of the changes it has with autistic children and it's correlation to pitocin....I had a long labor (started and then stopped with one day of pitocin for about 8 hours but no increase in dialation) the next day labor was progressing on its on and they started the pitocin at 2pm but still no progression until they increased the dose at 7PM and my boys were delivered vaginally at 2:35AM and 2:55AM...and I had a severe reaction which was pitocin related after delivery. It just got me to thinking about things, since I never saw a correlation with my boys and their vaccines (we have documented video of what I call losing Elliott....where he was doing things from the get go and slowly started losing his abilities and evenutally his smile) Thankfully with much therapy we are progressing and he has regained and made up ground on many skills (mostly gross and fine motor). But I was curious as to what others thought about the subject?
