Note: GP, general population controls; ID, intellectual disability/developmental delay without autism.

a

Model 1: logistic regression adjusted for study matching factors (child sex, month and year of birth).

b

Model 2: Model1+maternalage (continuous), maternal race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, Asian, Black/Pacific Islander/or other, Hispanic, or Missing), maternal weight at time of sample collection (quartiles), parity (multi- vs. primiparous), and maternal education (<highschool, high school, college, graduate, missing).

c

p-Trend from the median value variable, adjusted as Model 2.

d

Sum of all congeners shown in this table (those with at least 55% of study population with values >LOD).
