Hi, I'm 40 yrs old. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos after the birth of my 9 yr old son. I am currently on 125mcg.
To be blunt, is there a link between Hashimotos and autism.
I want to try for another baby. Am I going to have a baby with autism/ ADHD/ Aspergers.
On the Internet there is a link.
Really worried to be honest.
Thanks

A quick google suggest that there is no robust scientific evidence to support this. There are no guarantees with any pregnancy, but I would not let this stop you having another baby if that is what you want.

I've heard of a link between uncontrolled hashimotos (as in not medicated) and low iq. But not the others.
