autism and mitochondrial disease

I posted this in aspecialparent, but I know there are folks on my list who aren't a member of that comm, who have children or friends with children, who are on the autistic spectrum.

I subscribe to the online E-zine that About.com offers for Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Today's edition features an article about a link between Mitochondrial Disease and Autism.

Just thought I'd share the link :)

I don't know enough about mitochondrial disease to say anything about the possible link, but I think I'm going to do some reading into it.
