This is very interesting. Mine was also. He's a twin, born in April, but that

was 7 weeks early. Wonder if it's not necessarily the season they are born in

but time of year conceived? I also wondered about the effects of fertility

drugs and drugs that I was on for a month while in the hospital to help maintain

the pregnancy?? Anyone else?

My son (14, Aspergers) did not have jaundice and was not induced. My daughter (9, NT) had jaundice and was induced. Like a previous poster, be careful about believing things you read on the internet. There needs to be clinical evidence of things like this and the research needs to be done by independent agencies/companies who have no direct benefit from the findings.

Yes very hard to prove or disprove....

Both of my NT kids had jaundice, one was an induction with vacuum extraction and other was a emergency c-sec with cord around her neck and spent a day in NICU.

My aspie kid had a textbook natural birth..short labor, no drugs, no jaundice..

I still lean to the genetic link and both my husband and me have aspie traits, me more so than him.

It isn't clear that there is an association at all. We get this all the time on this list where a study says something is a connection and then people will write in and half will say, "A-ha!" and the other half will say, "This doesn't apply to us at all." When reading this study, I am not even sure how they came up with the correlation. If you read a few articles, you will see that they say things like: the risk goes down if the child is a first born. Well, then you read that in that country, they keep first born babies in the hospital for a few days while they send second and subsequent born children home shortly after they are born. They also extrapolated that this happens only to term babies and not to preemie babies. But again, a preemie will be kept in the hospital and therefore, get treated asap vs. a term baby who is sent home as soon as he or she is born. It's just little things like that that show problems with studies like this.

I did not see anywhere that is said the effect is worse during certain years. I can't even imagine how one would come to that conclusion.

There are so many theories out there. I've agonized over each theory that I

heard about, wondering if we could have done something different to change the

outcome for her. She was born when I was 40, she was induced and a dry birth,

she had immunizations, they thought she might be jaundiced as a baby and learned

she was not, I ate healthy meals and took prenatal vitamins while pregnant, etc.

Years ago, there were plenty of women having babies at 40 and it didn't seem

that there were so many children with ASDs. I love her so much and wish I could

spare her the frustrations and sorrows she's already gone through. She's only

nine. Take care everyone.
