About

This journal article describes a study that looks at whether there is a link between asthma and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. The researchers reviewed many previous studies to find out if kids with ASD are more likely to have asthma. The results showed no strong evidence that having ASD increases the risk of asthma, or vice versa. It suggests more research is needed to understand the connection better.
