 The text discusses the increased risk of autism in children born to mothers with iron deficiency during pregnancy. Research has found that mothers who are iron deficient during pregnancy have a higher chance of giving birth to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is because iron plays a crucial role in fetal brain development, and deficiencies can lead to abnormalities in brain structure and function. The study suggests that taking iron supplements during pregnancy may help reduce the risk of ASD.
