Default Auto-immune disorder causes another such disorder?

Hi, everybody:

I would like to know if having an auto-immune disorder (such as thyroiditis or any other auto-immune disorder) makes a person more prone to having another auto-immune disorder (such as rheumatoid arthritis or any other auto-immune disorder) in the future.

If yes, is there a way to prevent this from happening, apart from taking immuno-suppressant medications, like my two-year-old baby boy does for the rest of his life, after receiving his one heart, two lungs, and two kidneys transplants?

Thanks for your information.
