I do not really understand what conclusion to draw from this.

A friend of mine has 8 childen and none are autistic. All were born at the hospital (this is where you give birth in France), all were notmal weight and so was the mom (and dad)

I believe the conclusion is things like birth weight and mom's bmi aren't primary drivers of autism.

What led to increased diagnosis of autism was evaluating more kids who had autism.
