A new study found that children born during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those exposed to the virus in utero, were no more likely to screen positive for autism than pre-pandemic children. Researchers used a neurodevelopmental screening questionnaire for children aged 16-30 months and saw no differences in autism risk between these groups.
