[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting, but more studies are needed. This is a pretty good epidemiological study in terms of design, size etc. that shows no link: http://www.uscucedd.org/downloads/products_publications/parent_resources/Autism_Science_Briefs/2_Ultrasounds.pdf

The thing is, you have to be really careful about causation. Older women are considered more at risk for having a child with autism. Because of the concerns around pregnancy and AMA, older moms get more ultrasounds. That doesn't mean ultrasounds lead to autism, it could just mean that older moms are more prone to having a child with autism and they happen to be the population having more ultrasounds.

Either way, I'm glad that the focus on vaccines is starting to wane. That was a huge waste of resources.[/quote]

Thanks for posting this. The presentation OP posted sounds indeed scary (and is rhetorically designed to be), although it only notes the historical correlation and is not based on any particular study.

I can't even count the number of ultrasounds I had for my twins, so this is of course a bit frightening. So far no signs of anything, but only time will tell.[/quote]
