Obese mothers have a 67% to birth an autistic child new study finds.

CHICAGO — Obesity during pregnancy may increase chances for having a child with autism, provocative new research suggests.
Related Health stories »
It's among the first studies linking the two, and though it doesn't prove obesity causes autism, the authors say their results raise public health concerns because of the high level of obesity in this country.
Study women who were obese during pregnancy were about 67 percent more likely than normal-weight women to have autistic children. They also faced double the risk of having children with other developmental delays.
On average, women face a 1 in 88 chance of having a child with autism; the results suggest that obesity during pregnancy would increase that to a 1 in 53 chance, the authors said.

Giving birth to a handicapped child is my worst fear, probably. That and spiders.

Yeah, giving birth to spiders would be f'd up. They'd keep on popping out, thousands of them.

I skipped that possible setback and adopted a kid.
My ex-wife didn't even have to get fat for it, I did miss playing with lactating boobies though.
