Overview
Several risk factors associated with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and austim spectrum disorder (ASD) are: male gender, older parental age, family history of austim spectrum disorder (ASD), prematurity, low birth weight and pregnancy complications.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Risk Factors
Several risk factors have been associated with Asperger Syndrome:
- Male gender: The male to female ratio for austim spectrum disorder (ASD) is approximately 4 to 1.[1]
- Family history of austim spectrum disorder (ASD)[2][3][4]
- Race: AS has been reported to be 7% and 22% higher among white children compared to black and Hispanic children.[5]
- Other risk factors associated with austim spectrum disorder (ASD) include:[6]
- Advanced maternal age
- Advanced paternal age
- Low birth weight
- Prematurity
- Hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal jaundice
- Maternal immigrant status
- Pregnancy complications such as eclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension
