Hello, I also have a son who has autism. He is 9 years old. I had pitocin with him. I have alot of information for you if you are interested I would be glad to hear from you and write you.Please email me if you are interested. My son has Asperger's. I also have another son who is 3 years old and he also has a neurological disorder called Horner's Syndrome. This week we found out he has more serious issues but they are doing more tests this week. All are thought to be connected to a severe neck injury he got when he was born and due to the use of Pitocin.He failed his neurological tests this week and has had increase in falling and now can't swallow correctly and has to have either liquids or foods like puddding or mashed potatoes. Anything else he chokes severely on. We the consumers (the parents and the medical field) are not to blame for this but I do hold the makers and marketers of Pitocin accountable. They tell us the consumers "great things" about this drug then sale it to us and they are not always honest about the real issues. I know the pain you feel about the autism, I am also going through that...contact me. God Bless you and your son and I wish you the best! Mary
