Familial Recurrence of Autism: Updates From the Baby Siblings Research Consortium
(Abstracted from Pediatrics 2024;154:e2023065297) Previous studies have shown that children with an older sibling diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face a 7- to 14-fold higher risk of receiving an ASD diagnosis themselves. This information is valuable for clinicians and families, enabling earlier counseling, planning, and diagnostic surveillance.
