“…Since the prolonged or shortened IPIs have higher prevalence of unintended pregnancies (Cheng et al, 2016; Cheslack Postava & Winter, 2015; Cheslack‐Postava et al, 2014), Pereira et al (2021) suggested that unintended pregnancies may play an important role in increasing the risk of ASD. Another case–control study showed a crude association between unintended pregnancy and the risk of ASD (OR = 2.38, 95% CI, 1.09–5.18) among 142 children aged 24–72 months diagnosed with ASD and 128 healthy controls (Kara & Alpgan, 2020). Our results further provided the comprehensive evidence for the association between unintended pregnancy and the risk of ASD by controlling important confounders and conducting multiple sensitivity analyses based on the national data.…”

“…Their findings suggest that there may be a nearly significant association between unintended pregnancy and ASD ( p = 0.05) (Schmidt et al, 2012). While few observational studies have assessed the risk of ASD associated with pregnancy intention directly (Gipson et al, 2008), only one case–control study conducted in Turkey directly found a positive association between unintended pregnancy and a higher risk of ASD (Kara & Alpgan, 2020). However, this study only presented a crude association with a small sample size without considering potential confounding factors.…”

There is limited evidence on the associations of unintended pregnancy with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study aimed to examine this relationship and the modification of pre‐conceptional and prenatal folic acid supplements. Six thousand and five toddlers aged 16 to 30 months from seven cities of six provinces in China were eligible for participation. Information on unintended pregnancy and folic acid supplements was obtained via questionnaires from caregivers of toddlers. The diagnosis of ASD was based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM‐5) and the Chinese version of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Of the 6005 toddlers in the study (3337 boys and 2668 girls), 71 (1.18%) received the diagnosis of ASD. Generalized linear models with a logit link function showed unintended pregnancy was positively associated with ASD (odds ratios [OR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05–2.79). Stratified estimates indicated that the association remained stable among toddlers of mothers without pre‐conceptional and prenatal folic acid supplements (OR = 2.75, 95% CI, 1.04–7.27; n = 1243, 20.70%). Unintended pregnancy was associated with higher odds of ASD in 16–30 months of toddlers, and the association was consistent among toddlers of mothers without prenatal folic acid supplements. Our findings emphasize the need to raise awareness of the risk of unintended pregnancy and the benefits of folic acid supplements among Chinese women.

Objective To investigate the relationship between infant feeding practices and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children aged 2–5 years in the United States (US). Methods Data from the 2016–2020 National Survey of Children’s Health, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey, were utilized for this study. Questionnaires were administered to parents of children aged 2–5 years to gather information on ASD diagnosis, infant feeding practices, and demographic factors (e.g., child sex, ethnic group, and maternal age at birth). Logistic regression with sample weights was employed to assess the association between infant feeding practices and ASD, while controlling for demographic variables. Polynomial regression models were used to examine trends in exclusive breastfeeding and ever breastfeeding rates among children with and without ASD. Results A total of 35,050 children aged 2–5 years were analyzed, including 616 diagnosed with ASD, after excluding participants with missing information on breastfeeding and ASD diagnosis. Of these children with ASD, 76.6% (n = 472) had a breastfeeding history, with 67.5% (n = 416) engaged in partial breastfeeding and 9.1% (n = 56) exclusively breastfed. Adjusted odds ratios for each additional month of breastfeeding compared to never being breastfed were 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96–1.01). The adjusted odds ratios for breastfeeding durations of > 0–6 months, > 6–12 months, > 12–24 months, and > 24 months were 0.81 (95% CI, 0.50–1.31), 0.65 (95% CI, 0.36–1.18), 0.81 (95% CI, 0.44–1.49), and 0.48 (95% CI, 0.23–1.01), respectively. Compared to children who were never breastfed, the adjusted odds ratio for children who were ever breastfed was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.47–1.18). Among children with ASD, the proportion of ever breastfeeding declined from 82.0% in 2017 to 64.3% in 2020, while exclusive breastfeeding decreased from 12.0% in 2016 to 4.2% in 2020. Conclusions and relevance Although no significant association was found between infant feeding practices and ASD among US children aged 2–5 years, the rates of breastfeeding, particularly exclusive breastfeeding, were suboptimal among children with ASD. This highlights the need for specific policies and practices to promote and support breastfeeding among parents of children with ASD or those at high risk of having a child with ASD.
