A member asked:
Do a lot of ultrasounds cause autism during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at all: Research at this point is pointing to genetic issues (encoding errors) that exist in the egg or sperm before conception as a main cause of autism & associated disorders. Ultrasound has no effect on the formation of the fetus or incidence of autism.
