I think older age of mothers are correlated with both?
- sudosteph 1y agoAs I mentioned in another reply, heavy birth weight is another stat somewhat significantly correlated with ASD diagnosis that could correlate with c-sections. Interestingly high birth weight seems to be more common in mothers in their 20s.
- nradov 1y agoHigh birth weight is also correlated with gestational diabetes. There could be some metabolic or hormonal intersection with autism here.
