niece 10, dyspraxic and autistic

[JaniceT]

Hi all, I've posted here before some time back about my niece. She has been on medication at varying dosages but it's caused more uncontrollable aggression. Hence the doctors are taking her off meds. Hopefully she will be better soon.
I was wondering, if a mother had Rubella / German Measles,during pregnancy, would that increase risk of Autism?

Although there is some controversy, there has been no proven link between Rubella in pregnancy (or the MMR jab) and autism.
