It is biologically plausible that risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is elevated by both short and long interpregnancy intervals (IPI). We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton, non-nulliparous live births.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension. Epidemiological studies have associated preeclampsia with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, such as autism and schizophrenia. Preeclampsia has also been linked with maternal vitamin D deficiency, another candidate risk factor also associated with autism.
Early supports to enhance social development in children with autism are widely promoted. While oxytocin has a crucial role in mammalian social development, its potential role as a medication to enhance social development in humans remains unclear.
Reading Disability is often characterized by difficulties in the phonology of the language. While the molecular mechanisms underlying it are largely undetermined, loci are being revealed by genome-wide association studies.
Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder may be at higher likelihood of experiencing poorer oral health and difficulties accessing dental health care. However, identifying which children on the autism spectrum may be more vulnerable to experiencing dental care difficulties is still unknown.
Our findings provide additional insight into the early clinical profile of Rett syndrome.
An existing randomised controlled trial was used to investigate whether multiple ultrasound scans may be associated with the autism phenotype.
Three experiments investigated the role of inner speech deficit in cognitive performances of children with autism.
This large population-based study identified no consistent association across two cohorts between prenatal head growth and postnatal autistic traits
Investigating whether the presence and severity of nausea and vomiting may be related to symptom severity in offspring with autism spectrum disorder
