Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from JAMA Pediatr 2016;170(9):e160965) Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a collection of permanent developmental disabilities exemplified by impairments in social interaction and language development and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. This study aimed to examine the association of labor induction with ASD by comparison of differentially exposed relatives and to follow up on their diagnosis of ASD.
