“You saw it happen. Your child got sick - and everything changed. Speech slipped. Anxiety soared. The light dimmed.
And no one could tell you why.
Now a new study has quietly confirmed what you’ve known all along:
The immune system can drive autistic symptoms.”
From a study of 84 children (age: 6–16) within 6 months after being tested positive for COVID-19, "Compared with the control group, the COVID group in the post-COVID condition had more severe symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, opposition, a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems, and poor school functions, school attitude, social interaction, school behavioral problems, and interaction problems with their parents. Compared with the pre-COVID condition, the COVID group had greater severity of inattention, somatic complaints, thought problems, internalizing problems, poor school functions, and interaction problems with their parents in the post-COVID condition.. a significant link [was identified] between SARS-CoV-2 infection and various post-COVID mental health sequelae in children, including behavioral/emotional and social adjustment challenges."
Thread When over half of kids & half of young adults have gotten #COVID19–#LongCovid impact for years to come will be crazy high. That’s both physical illness, mental illness, cognitive deficits, and ballooning healthcare costs. Mark my works—we will regret “let it rip”. #CovidIsNotOver
