Abstract

The prevalence of both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and maternal cannabis use during pregnancy are increasing, yet few empirical studies have examined their potential association. Moreover, it is unclear whether maternal prenatal cannabis use may interact with other ASD risk factors, such as maternal prenatal stress, to impact child neurodevelopment. This question is particularly relevant for Black mothers, who are disproportionately exposed to prenatal stressors including low socioeconomic status (SES) and racial discrimination.
