Is There A Link Between Antidepressants Taken By Pregnant Women And Autism?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been seeing these ads that encourage you to call the attorney if you took Zoloft, or similar drugs, and have a child with Autism. I was on antidepressants. Wondering how many more Moms were???

This might be off base, so I am sorry a head of time but... There was an article that talked about a link between kids being on the spectrum and women who breath during labor... SERIOUSLY!! I think there isn't enough information on why's yet to really point to any one thing as a cause. I wasn't on any medication with my son and he is on the spectrum.

Thanks to those of you who chimed in to report u took nothing and still had child on the spectrum. You know who we tend to look at ourselves to see if we caused something with our child.
