“Possible mechanisms linking early life pain and stress to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental, behavioral or psychological problems in later life remain incompletely conceptualized,”Frisch said.
“Given the widespread practice of non-therapeutic circumcision in infancy and childhood around the world, our findings should prompt other researchers to examine the possibility that circumcision trauma in infancy or early childhood might carry an increased risk of serious neurodevelopmental and psychological consequences,” he added.
Some experts are urging caution with the findings, according to the Daily Mail. Professor Jeremy Turk, an adolescent psychiatrist at Southwark Child & Adolescent Mental Health Neurodevelopmental Service, told the newspaper that while the findings of the study were “interesting,” they needed to be “considered carefully.”
“This is not a causal study, but instead compares data sets and looks for correlations. While this is a valid way of doing a study, it means that we must be careful about any implications,” he said. “For example, many cases of autism are missed until children are older and as there are relatively few cases of autism this could easily skew the data.”
“Furthermore, there are many potentially confounding variables which could explain raised ASD rates, which the authors do not explore or account for,” Turk continued. “Finally, I have some issues with the premise in that their speculations regarding early pain as a cause of autism are, to say the least, highly speculative.”
Dr Rosa Hoekstra, a lecturer in psychology at the Open University, agreed, that it “takes a registered autism diagnosis at face value, without considering cultural or social factors affecting the likelihood of an (early) autism diagnosis. Even in a high income country like Denmark not all children with autism are detected and given a suitable autism diagnosis at an early age.”
