I was even going to list that in the reasons, but I took it out because the current study doesn't really speak directly to it and I couldn't think of a way to work it in that didn't sound like I was "blaming" the mother.<br /><br />Although I think that you said it well and the properties you mentioned would vary with time and lifestyle choices.M.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12033918835169823548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892134081049774386.post-69113790744233311302012-03-28T09:40:45.092-04:002012-03-28T09:40:45.092-04:00Hi MJ -

If the brain differences found in autism are the result of <i>developmental</i> patterns, and those patterns have high concordance with properties of the mother herself; i.e., chemical exposures, stress responses, immune function, metabolic profiles, then in these instances, switching up fathers wouldn't change too much. <br /><br />- pDpassionlessDronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398721312156704738noreply@blogger.com
