Grey hair on a 5year old???

[looby1914]

hello.. my little boy is 5, has autism, and few more dx's but recently started finding grey hairs on his head??? What on earth can be causing it?? Is it normal for a child to get grey hair??

I don't know, but I guess you can get grey hair anytime. My SIL was pure silver grey by the time she was 20.

My son has had a grey patch of hair ever since I can remember. He is now 28. Don't worry about it. But if you are worried just mention it to the doc next time you go.

I remember a girl at my secondary school had a little grey stripe of hair, she called it her badger stripe I think.

I had grey hairs while still at school. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about. But as has been mentioned, do ask the doctor next time.

I can think of no medical condition that is associated with grey hairs.

It is normal and/or probably genetic.

No big deal.
