Research Teasers - Autism

There is just so much interesting research out there. Here are some Research Teasers for things I've run across and just didn't want you to miss out on. I will update periodically.  If you are not familiar with reading references like this, search for "APA style" which I use primarily and see what the notations mean.  Write to me or post a question if you need help.
