Getting Induced..
Is it really true that getting induced, can cause for some babies to have autism? And that boys are more likely to get it then girls?
Don't believe everything you read! New studies have 100% shown that the delivery of the child has nothing to do with autism. I have two children with autism, my first son was an extremely bad delivery and we both almost died. My third child was a perfect pregnancy and delivery and she still has autism. My husband has asperges and so does his other son to his previous marriage. 100% genetic!
This is what i read thats why i asked.
Autism and Induced Labor

A recently published epidemiological study in JAMA Pediatrics looked at the association between induction and enhancement of labor and the risk of autism. The researchers found a positive association, especially with males. The study has been variously reported in the popular press with causal interpretations not justified by the data.
The study itself is very robust – the authors looked at 625,042 live births, including 5,500 children with a diagnosis of autism. They found:
Compared with children born to mothers who received neither labor induction nor augmentation, children born to mothers who were induced and augmented, induced only, or augmented only experienced increased odds of autism after controlling for potential confounders related to socioeconomic status, maternal health, pregnancy-related events and conditions, and birth year. The observed associations between labor induction/augmentation were particularly pronounced in male children.

Autism is not caused by delivery. One gender does get it more often then the other.
Autism is genetic and has nothing to do with the delivery of the child!
