Yeah I have about this topic in articles,an interesting fact is when my mother was pregnant with me and while I don’t think it was pcos she did have a cyst in her ovaries which in resulted in her having to have one of her ovaries removed while she was pregnant with me,I cannot say that this is the reason why I am on the spectrum because I also have a older brother who is autistic but it is interesting to read about this topic.

I know Victoria Beckham had polycystic ovaries and none of her children are autistic

I've heard that scientists believe both PCOS and autism (separately) may be linked to autoimmune disease and/or elevated androgens but, as yet, nothing's been proven.

I think polycystic ovaries just give a great chance of autism, not a gaurentee.

It is known that women with PCOS often have elevated androgens.
