Women Abused as Children More Likely to Have Children With Autism

Boston, MA–(ENEWSPF)–March 21, 2013.  Women who experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse as children are more likely to have a child with autism than women who were not abused, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). Those who experienced the most serious abuse had the highest likelihood of having a child with autism — three-and-a-half times more than women who were not abused.
