Dear Friends:
    Here is another abstract. There doesn't seem to be much new research on
this topic.


Early childhood psychosis and bleeding during pregnancy. A prospective study
of gravid women and their offspring.

J Autism Child Schizophr 1975 Dec;5(4):287-97

Torrey EF, Hersh SP, McCabe KD

Children with infantile autism and childhood psychoses were identified in the
National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke Collaborative
Perinatal Study. They were matched with two control groups one of normal-IQ
and the other of low-IQ children. Perinatal data, which had been collected
prospectively, were then rated blindly. The relationship between uterine
bleeding in mothers and their subsequently delivered children, who developed
the syndromes of autism and childhood psychosis, was found to be significant.
Mid-trimester bleeding was especially prevalent. The bleeding was usually
minor and was not considered to be clinically significant at the time of
occurrence. The results tend to corroborate 12 previously published
retrospective reports indicating more perinatal complications in children who
develop autism and childhood psychosis.
