My son is 8yrs and has an Autism and ADHD diagnosis. In the last year or two we've noticed his skin complexion is quite sallow/pale and he can tire easily and although he always denies he's tired it tends to manifest in unregulated behaviour. I've since read there's a link between iron defiency and these conditions that I hadn't been aware of. Just wondered if anyone else has noticed this about their children and whether iron supplements have helped? He's afraid of needles so unsure how easy a blood test would be. Also if a supplement would interact with ADHD meds, am not due to speak to the doctor for a little while but will raise it with her then also.
Thanks in advance!
