Just got diagnosed with MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome). My EDS specialist, first time meeting her, told me that MCAS can cause autism. I can't find anything on this except if you have mast cells while pregnant due to stress, it can cause ASD in the baby. The other thing I saw is that autism can cause MCAS, but not the other way around. I did find that there possibly is an autism subtype (not researched or confirmed but theorized) that involves/causes EDS and MCAS. Anyone have experience with MCAS and/or MCAS with autism? Is it true that MCAS can cause autism?
