In my case, I came out 2 weeks late and was little over 12lbs (~5.5kg) when I did. Apparently birth weight over 9.5 lbs is also correlated with higher rates of ASD. That would be my guess as to why c-sections show a correlation.
- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoMy First and Fifth are autistic. All births were full term. 1st 8lb. 2nd 8lb, 3rd 10.5lb, 4th and 5th 6.5lb ea (twins). None were c-section. First 3 were home or birth center, last had to be hospital. My wife had good BMI for the start of each pregnancy.
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoI do not really understand what conclusion to draw from this. A friend of mine has 8 childen and none are autistic. All were born at the hospital (this is where you give birth in France), all were notmal weight and so was the mom (and dad)
- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoI believe the conclusion is things like birth weight and mom's bmi aren't primary drivers of autism. What led to increased diagnosis of autism was evaluating more kids who had autism.
