#Caesarean Section Births 'Increase The Risk Of Autism By 23%', Study Finds!

There has been a steady increase in the cases of Autism in children born through caesarean section lately. For years now research has been-on to try to find the cause of this astronomical increase, but it seems they have found what looks like the cause.

According to an essay in the independent.co.uk, babies born through Caesarean section are more likely to develop autism, the study claims, although the link remains “unclear”.

Researchers at University College Cork examined statistics in countries including the US, Australia, Canada and Sweden to conclude that the surgical delivery raises the risk of the disorder by 23 per cent.
Professor Louise Kenny, one of the study’s authors and an obstetrician, urged caution on the findings and stressed more research was needed.

''Parents should be reassured that the overall risk of a child developing ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is very small and that Caesarean section is largely a very safe procedure and when medically indicated, it can be lifesaving,” she said.
