As I've mentioned in other threads, my mother was a five pack a day smoker. I can still remember the various brands, as she kept changing. Carlton's was one. Her mother smoked Doral.
However, I never thought about my maternal grandmother possibly being the cause of my Asperger's. She was a smoker up until about a year before she passed. The aforementioned article was published just a few months ago and focuses on children of the 90's, so I can't help but wonder about those of us considered "baby boomers." Back then smoking was practically encouraged. All celebrities smoked; it was considered glamorous and a sign of maturity.
It's interesting how they're looking at the possibility of ASD being caused by smoking.
