Curious...heard that having a baby BEFORE 38 weeks can increase chances of ASD. I find this interesting (and frightening) and curious to know some stats here for our members. Please only answer for your own child/children, and for arguements sake, we are going to assume 'premature' is ANYTHING before 38 + 0 weeks gestation (as given by your due date) and anything 38 + 0 or more is considered "term". My daughter was born at 37 weeks and has ASD, and my other two children were born at 38 weeks (exactly) and do NOT have ASD.
