Maternal Cannabis Use in Pregnancy and Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Offspring

A meta-analysis of 13 observational studies found gestational cannabis exposure associated with small increased risks of ASD (RR 1.30) and ADHD (RR 1.13), though the ADHD finding may reflect publication bias. A larger cohort study showed cannabis use disorder during pregnancy was associated with substantially increased ASD risk (RR 3.02–3.21), though the authors acknowledge limitations including potential genetic and environmental confounding.

Connectome-based symptom mapping and gene expression analysis in children with autism and ADHD

This study examined 166 children with autism or ADHD to identify shared neurobiological mechanisms, finding that autism symptom severity was associated with specific functional connectivity patterns between the frontoparietal and default mode networks, independent of ADHD symptom severity. Gene expression analysis linked these connectivity patterns to genes with known differential variance in autism, suggesting transdiagnostic biological overlap between the conditions.
