A study published in BMCPsychiatry suggests that maternal autistic traits are related to anxiety and depression to a certain degree, but only weakly related to maternal–infant bonding at 1 month postpartum.

]. Consequently, further studies dealing with the various factors mentioned above will be needed to identify confounding factors between autistic traits and perinatal mental health. If there are confounding factors, it would be impossible to identify the true relationship between autistic traits and perinatal mental health without adjusting for the influence of those factors.

Our study had several limitations that merit discussion. First, this study used a cross-sectional design at 1 month postpartum. Further studies will be needed to examine how autistic traits are related to longitudinal changes in anxiety/depression and mother–infant bonding from pregnancy to several months or several years postpartum.
