My son-in-law was in the Gulf War. He slept near the burning oil fires at night. They have had three children since he came back. The two oldest six and four have been diagnosed with autism and PDD(Pervasive Developmental Disorder). The third child who will be two next month, is now seriously language delayed and they want him tested for autism/pdd also. Could these problems be because of my son-in-law's exposure to the fires, shots, or chemicals, he would have been exposed to, due to his time in the Persian Gulf? My daughter also has lymph nodes that are swollen, that they can't find an apparent cause for. Thank you. A concerned grandmother. C. Fleharty
