Newborn Jaundice Linked to Autism

A new study suggests jaundiced newborns have a higher risk of autism than other babies.
Babies with jaundice — a condition in which skin turns yellow because of high levels of a substance called bilirubin — were 67% more likely than other babies to be diagnosed with autism, according to a Danish study of nearly 734,000 children born between 1994 and 2004. The risk was even higher for babies born between October and March.
