I read an article published yesterday in the WSJ that stated recent findings have established that autism is caused by children being born of obese mothers. It further stated that it’s increasing due to the larger numbers of late of fat mamas.
I think this is the article you’re referring to:
Autism Linked to Obesity in Mothers
The risk was even more pronounced when mothers who had high blood pressure or diabetes before or during pregnancy were included in the analysis.
The results suggest that obesity and other metabolic conditions are a general risk factor for autism and other developmental disorders, said the researchers from the University of California, Davis and Vanderbilt University.
born of obese mothers...Sounds like a Michelle Obama thesis.
