This study looks at the diagnosis age and symptom severity of those diagnosed with autism and the relationship to Assisted Reproductive Technology.
Read MoreIn a large, population-based sample we failed to find evidence suggesting an excess of brothers among children with autism while controlling for several threats to validity. This test cannot rule out a role of any given exposure, including prenatal testosterone, in either risk of autism or offspring sex ratio, but suggests against a common cause of both.

Additional research is required to explain the increased risk of autism diagnosis with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) use, as well as studies on the effectiveness and safety of ICSI.
