Autism linked to difficult births

This one hit the news back in May (BBC coverage) but somehow I missed it at the time.
A study run by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) looked at 698 autistic children born in Denmark. They found that autism was associated with breech presentation, a low Apgar score , a gestational age at birth of less than 35 weeks and parental psychiatric history of schizophrenia-like psychosis or affective disorder. Analyses showed no statistically significant association between risk of autism and weight for gestational age, parity, number of antenatal visits, parental age, or socioeconomic status.
