It’s super common to have thrush, and lots of people have candida, too, without being autistic.
Thrush is treated with nystatin liquid in the baby’s mouth, and nystatin ointment on your nipples, because otherwise you’ll just pass it back and forth when baby eats! Go to the doctor, and get the prescription, and it’s no big deal. Or, go to the health food store and get gentian violet (ask them how to use it, it’s easy).

Q&A: Can you give a yeast infection to a breast fed baby?
Question by : Can you give a yeast infection to a breast fed baby?
My son has had diahrea, it’s weird, it looks like there’s cottage cheese type looking chunks in it. The doc did not actually see his poop. But he tested him for microplasma & rhodavirus, both came back negative. He has no fever. I’m taking him to the doc again today. But I’ve only had 1 yeast infection before, so it’s hard for me to tell if maybe I have one. If I had a yeast infection & my baby gets breast milk, could he get a yeast infection?

That’s what breastmilk bowel movements look like. He’s fine. If you had a yeast infection on your nipples he might get thrush, but it would be in his mouth, not throughout his body. It would look like white spots that would not wipe off.
No worries. 🙂
