NEMO | Just seen a segment on the local news about a study that was done in Denmark from 1997-2003 where they say statistics indicated that kids who were born to mothers that had the flu during thier pregnancy, were slightly more likely to develop various forms of Autism. As the parent of a child who has a very mild form of Autism, it can be mentally draining, because it is a constant learning process on how to help him find ways to achieve success in school and at home.
