Doubtful, but....: The generall use of terbutiline to postpone delivery is something the fda is now actively discouraging. A link to autism is tenuous. Here's a nice review: http://biologyfiles.Fieldofscience.Com/2011/02/terbutaline-and-autismor-not.Html lawyers are seeking to litigate this as a "cause" of autism, so dispassionate reviews are going to be hard find and evidence remains scant.

NO: There is no known connection. Terbutaline has a long safety record.
