Epilepsy drug linked to tenfold increase in autism: researchers - Telegraph

Epilepsy drug linked to tenfold increase in autism: researchers - Telegraph: The study found children born to women who took sodium valproate, known as Epilim, were significantly more likely to suffer autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or dyspraxia.
Researchers warned that women should not stop taking the drug suddenly as fits can harm their unborn child and most women went on to have healthy children.
