Abstract
During the last decades, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) was performed under infertility reasons and gave hope to couples for reproduction. Along with the increase in the use of ART, there was also an increase in the diagnosis of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The consequences of in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in children were investigated by many studies, including premature birth, low birth weight and developmental disorders, similar factors presented in ASD. Due to similarities between these factors, a correlation was considered possible. The purpose of this review was to investigate the possible correlation between ASD and IVF. The majority of the studies did not present statistically significant correlation between those two factors, following retrospective data. In some studies, correlations between Intracytoplamic Sperm Injection and ASD, and Hormonal Treatment during ART and ASD, were noted. Further research should be implemented in order to identify the main cause of ASD, and giving more information about the contributing factors.
