I just read this interesting article about how children conceived during certain perios of the year (dec-Mar) have a higher diagnosis of Autism. I’m not sure what to make of this. My son has Aspergers and was borrn in June so he doesn’t fall within that timeline but I’d be interested to see a larger study.
What do you think about this?

I have two daughters on the Autism Spectrum. One was born in August and the other in December. Did the article talk about when they were conceived or when they were born? Do you have a link to it? Interesting.
