Scientific community skeptical about autism-testosterone link
January 14th, 2009From Nature News (updates from the scientific journal Nature):
A study by Simon Baron-Cohen linking autism with high fetal testosterone levels has prompted media reports anticipating prenatal tests for autism. But researchers in the field urge caution, both about the significance of Simon-Cohen’s findings and about the case for prenatal screening for autism.
Scientists also express concern that the British media has misinterpreted Baron-Cohen’s data.
