But no-one wants to talk about that, because it's not the sort of subject that goes down well at the bar over a couple of beers, or the dining room table with a couple of wines, or at the big game on a Saturday night.
Problem with that is that it's only the last 20-30 years that women stopped drinking during pregnancy. Before that - when autism rates were lower - women drank right through pregnancy. And smoked, too.
