	Quote:	A major Swedish study of 3.7 million people has found that rare TORCH infections passed from a pregnant woman to the fetus are linked to much higher risks of autism and intellectual disability later in life. Children with a congenital TORCH infection were about three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism, more than seven times more likely to have an intellectual disability, and up to 30 times more likely to have severe to profound intellectual disability.... The research focused on a group known as TORCH infections. This category includes, among others, cytomegalovirus, rubella, toxoplasma and herpesvirus. While most common infections do not directly reach a developing fetus, these pathogens can sometimes cross the placenta and cause a congenital infection.
