Covid 19 is a coronavirus. Coronaviruses have been around for decades causing most common colds. There has never been any connection between coronaviruses and autism. Just because this is a novel coronavirus does not mean it has a different effect on intrauterine development. Make sure to take care of yourself, keeping your temp down with Acetaminophen and resting.
