What current science says — and doesn't say — about IVF and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Routine IVF and preimplantation genetic testing cannot reliably screen embryos for autism. Autism is shaped by many genes and environmental factors.
Studies have not shown a clinically significant increase in autism caused by IVF when controlling for parental factors such as age and underlying infertility.
We share evidence honestly, set realistic expectations, and never promise that any technique can guarantee a child without neurodevelopmental conditions.
