Pregnancy infections linked to autism

The study summarizes that maternal infection with viruses such as rubella and herpes during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of the child developing autism and intellectual disabilities. It was found that children who were exposed to infection during pregnancy were about three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism and roughly seven times more likely to have an intellectual disability, although some of these children scored lower on the study. The research underscores the importance of vaccination and preventive programs to reduce the transmission of infections from mother to fetus.
