From New Atlas:
A new study from the Telethon Kids Institute in Australia has revealed a possible association between intellectual disability and some specific forms of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Experts are urging caution when interpreting these results, as it is unclear exactly what may be causing the increased rates of intellectual disability.
The study tracked over 200,000 live births between 1994 and 2002. A little over one percent of those births were conceived using an ART technique. Overall, the results showed only a small increase in intellectual disability relating to ART (1 in 48 for ART versus 1 in 59 for non-ART). However, a specific technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), showed a more significant increase in risk for intellectual disability (1 in 32).

that X-files episode with the three sons pulling out and burying the inbred child in the front yard, which Mulder and Scully later discover has genes from all three sons because all those years of inbreeding weakened the ova walls of the succeeding generations of women.
The technique they are talking about is likely perforating the ova cell wall and injecting the sperm directly, in which case one can see how it might cause damage since multiple sperm may attempt to merge with the ova's genetic material.

His school required him to take Ritalin. Whoever prescribed it was guilty of malpractice because it's ineffective for XYY
