A US study found that the link between certain maternal health conditions during pregnancy and autism diagnoses in children varies by race and ethnicity, with stronger associations among children of white mothers compared to those of Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander mothers. The study did not find a causal relationship between the maternal conditions and autism, suggesting that factors such as genetic and healthcare access differences may explain the findings. Autism was diagnosed in 2.4% of the children studied, lower than the CDC's reported rate of 3.2%.
