A new study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, has found that the use of antidepressant drugs during pregnancy can dramatically increase the chances of the child developing autism.

The study, conducted at the University of Montreal, reviewed data on 145,456 pregnancies, drawn from the Quebec Pregnancy Cohort, of which provided a wealth of data regarding the medical histories of the children involved, up to the age of ten. While a large number of factors were reviewed in the study, one statistic stood out: the use of antidepressants during the latter two trimesters of pregnancy increased the chances of a child developing autism by 87%, over those that were diagnosed with the condition, but who’s mothers had not been prescribed antidepressants.

But as their hives aren’t monitored by beekeepers, a loss in their numbers aren’t as immediately noticed.

In this, the first of two, you will hear a scientist asked and answer some extremely tough questions, beginning with how normality and rationality are defined by Western science. Then, we begin to apply scientific thinking to mystical phenomena leading into next week’s show. This is the interview that any other scientist would have walked out on. But Tyler is one of a kind.
