Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy tied to autism risk. Article by Hannah Furfaro

From Spectrum website: Children born to women who had low blood levels of vitamin D while pregnant more than double their risk of autism.

The findings come from a study of more than 4,000 children in the Netherlands. Only 68 of the children had an autism diagnosis by age 6, but the researchers still found a statistically significant link between vitamin D deficiency in the women and the children’s autism risk.
