Connecting autoimmun: http://www.thyroidchange.org/resources/patient-blogs/related-illnesses/ there is a possibility that they are more prevalent but the studies linking all three are insufficient. The blog above might help though.

Some connection: Celiac and (autoimmune) thyroid disease are more likely to happen together then each is likely in the general population. PCOS is typically a metabolic condition, meaning it usually has to do with weight and insulin resistance.
