Sounds stupid but....

Does anyone think my cancer might have had something to do with my Asperger's? I had a Wilm's tumor the size of a football on my left kidney when I was two years old and they removed it along with my left kidney and it was all fixed with chemotherapy, blah blah blah, all that medical hoo-hah. Could the cancer have something to do with it?

Don't see how, but then again I'm not a doctor.

Personally I think some of my problems might be caused by lead poisoning but I'm not sure... I've never heard of cancer causing autism though. That's a completely new concept to me.

It was just a theory I had today suddenly. Maybe it was the chemotherapy even?

Personally, for the most part I think forms of autism, like cancer, are genetic, do any of your (blood relatives) have it too?

My father did.

Well then that is the likely source.

Ah, I see. No cancer as the source, then... Hmm...

Well, it certanly isn't cancer. The kidney is really more important than I ever thought, but most people agree that only 1 is needed, and I don't think they communicate. ALSO, MANY people only have ONE. So I doubt it has ANYTHING to do with it.

No. Some very few aspergers can be prone to non-cancerous tumors; but there is absoloutely zero relationship between aspergers and cancer.
