Jaundice in newborns may be linked to autism - CTV News

Jaundice in newborns may be linked to autism - CTV News: "The study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics, looked at more than 700,000 children in Denmark.
It found that babies who developed jaundice were 67 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with autism during early childhood.
The study authors say the study only linked jaundice and autism; it didn't show that jaundice caused autism. They suggest there could be a number of factors that predispose babies to both the development of jaundice and autism."
