Ode to autism dads
On the heels of Father’s Day, this week’s podcast summarizes the last year or so of research which focuses on the fathers. This includes genetics, parental stress and quality of life, and broader autism phenotype features. Of note, two new studies that look at antidepressant exposure in father and probability of having a child with autism – a variation on studying maternal exposures.
