Maternal Stress Ups Autism RiskWomen who experience a major stressful event -- death of a spouse, job loss, or a long-distance move -- midway through their pregnancy have an elevated likelihood of delivering an autistic child than do their unstressed counterparts, say researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center. In a presentation at the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in San Diego, chief investigator Dr. David Beversdorf reported on a study of 188 women with autistic children. Findings showed that these women were more likely to have withstood a major stressor during the 24th through 28th weeks of their pregnancies, compared with the mothers of non-autistic youngsters. This time frame coincides with the development of the cerebellum, which is structurally altered in autism. Stress levels for the mothers of autistic children were nearly twice those of controls. "Researchers have been examining the genetic component of the disease for years, but there is now evidence through this study that autism is also linked to external factors, such as prenatal stress.", commented Dr. Beversdorf. Stress to the mother (and unborn child) both during the pregnancy and the delivery, plays a significant role in the health of the mother and baby. When stress is encountered, it directly affects the nervous system (and therefore the entire body) of the mother and newborn baby to function at optimum levels, wouldn't it make sense to make Chiropractic adjustments an integral part of pregnancy? Checking the newborn's spine to rule out subluxations from the birthing process would also ensure a healthy start in life. Source: Society for Neuroscience - 11/25/2001 |
