I know I've read that there also increased risks of other issues in closely spaced siblings.  I think the reason is that the mother doesn't have sufficient time to rebuild her nutritional stores between pregnancies, so the 2nd child doesn't get adequate nutrition and is at greater risk of things like autism.
