Smoking causes Autism?


Not quite but interesting research is out that suggests that a link between nictotine addition and autism. It's an inverse relationship so read closely this link from Scientific Frontline.

Researchers Find Link Between Nicotine Addiction and Autism


Hold that thought, Swedish researchers find that children whose mother smoked were 40% more likely to be diagnosed with autism. Yikes. Weird I hadn't come across this...it's a 2002 study.

Also, a report out by Treehouse, the British autism org. about bullying and autism.
