If your child has been diagnosed with ASD/autism/developmental delays - did you have pre-eclampsia during that pregnancy?

Just the above really. I have stumbled across a few studies which have drawn minor links between the 2 (also ADHD) and so I’m curious to see if anyone can relate?

I had PE with my first and whilst he doesn’t have autistic traits, he is slightly delayed developmentally (speaking, mostly, physically, definitely on time) and he shows signs of ADHD. Has done since very young.

Currently pregnant with number two and because of previous pregnancy, they’re obviously on high alert for PE again

I have a daughter with ADHD. She has never been delayed in any way, apart from the obvious attention issues, however.

She was full term and a very straightforward labour.
