 | | |  Prenatal air pollution exposure tied to higher autism risk in children A population-based study of over two million births in Ontario found that prenatal exposure to the sulfate and ammonium components of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) was associated with a higher risk of autism spectrum disorder. The risk was greatest during mid to late pregnancy and among infants in urban, lower-income neighborhoods. | | | | |  COVID-19 in pregnancy may raise autism and neurodevelopmental disorder risk Children born to mothers who contracted COVID-19 during pregnancy face a 29% higher likelihood of developmental disorders by age three, including speech, motor, and autism-spectrum delays. The risk was greatest for male offspring and infections occurring in the third trimester. | |

|  | | | | |  Sensory overload vs. sensory seeking: Causes, symptoms, and treatment explained Sensory overload and sensory seeking describe opposite but related patterns of sensory processing, where individuals either become overwhelmed by or actively crave sensory input. Understanding these responses helps tailor interventions that support regulation, participation, and well-being. | |  | | | | |  Do gut microbes cause autism? New research says diet plays the bigger role In a family-based study, researchers found that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shared similar gut microbiomes with their relatives but showed distinctly different eating habits. Their preference for sweets and limited vegetable intake suggests behavior-driven dietary choices may influence, rather than result from, microbiome differences. | | | | | | |  At the hollow in Florida, the ‘medical freedom’ movement finds its base camp MAGA and MAHA are happily married in Florida, and nowhere more at home than in Sarasota County, where on a humid October night a crowd of several hundred gathered to honor state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, his wife, and an unlicensed Canadian radiologist who treats cancer with horse paste. | |

| | | |  A rigorous systematic review of the present state of knowledge on the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and the risk of specific neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism and ADHD, offers reassurance that acetaminophen does not increase the risk of NDDs. | | | | |  A comprehensive review published today in Brain Medicine illuminates the intricate connections between gut microbiota and sleep regulation, establishing the microbiota-gut-brain axis as a critical pathway in understanding and potentially treating sleep disorders. | |
