A study from the University of Nebraska, published in Molecular Psychiatry, found that children whose mothers took certain medications during pregnancy, particularly those affecting cholesterol production, had a 47% increased risk of autism diagnosis, with the risk amplifying for those whose mothers used four or more such drugs simultaneously; however, the researchers emphasized that this is an associative study and does not confirm causation, suggesting that underlying maternal mental health may also play a role. #AutismResearch #PregnancyHealth #MedicationImpact
