3. "...pregnant people taking the pain reliever."

I don't really have a problem with men being called pregnant. The word just means "expecting," and men can expect as much as women. But it's not going to affect the fetus if the man takes a couple of Tylenol. I hope no one is saying that, anyway.

I noticed the article says that studies are showing that autism is "strongly genetic." The situation reminds me of a book I read by Greg Bear. I've read a few of his books and I'm not sure which one it was. I think it was "Darwin's Radio." Anyway, suddenly there are children being born all over the world that are different from their human parents. It turns out to be evolution at work. An old species dying out and another one being born. I think that something like that might be at work with autism.
