Autism and Conception Children conceived in winter have a greater risk of autism, according to a new study from UC Davis. An examination of the birth records of the more than 7 million children born in the state of California during the 1990s and early 2000s has found a clear link between the month in which a child is conceived and the risk of that child later receiving a diagnosis of autism. We'll talk with the researcher Dr. Irva Hertz-Picciotto about it.
