SPECIAL COMMENTARY       This edition of our report is the most gruesome and sad we have compiled since publishing for 17 plus years. There were so many reports of harm to autistic and disabled people, children that we created two new subject divisions: KILLINGS and ABUSE.  Let us hope that these spikes are anomalies. - LS RESEARCH Autism and Intellectual Disability Linked to IVF for Male Infertility Revelations about a link between IVF and low IQs in children have alarmed would-be parents and doctors. Picture: Thinkstock       By Tamarra Kemsley. natureworldnews.com       In-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments for the most severe forms of male infertility may be linked to an increased risk of intellectual disability and autism in children, according to a new study published in the Journal of American Medicine Association. (Photo : Reuters)       In-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments for the most severe forms of male infertility may be linked to an increased risk of intellectual disability and autism in children, according to a new study published in the Journal of American Medicine Association.       While autism and intellectual disability remain a rare outcome of IVF, and while some of the risk is associated with the presence of multiple births, the study provides important evidence, according to the international team of researchers, for parents and clinicians on the relative risks of modern IVF treatments.       The study was conducted using anonymous data from the Swedish national registers: in all, researchers analyzed more than 2.5 million birth records from 1982 and 2007 and followed-up on whether children had a clinical diagnosis of autism or intellectual disability (defined as having an IQ below 70) up until 2009.
