Study suggests high prenatal testosterone levels linked to autism

I can’t seem to find the original study, but in the article I found has this to say…

Pregnant women may someday be able to test their fetus for autism, thanks to a British study that found that women with high uterine testosterone levels are more likely to have children with autism-like traits such as a lack of social and verbal skills.

If this is really the case, couldn’t hormone therapy help to curb the issue? I’ll be watching this particular topic pretty closely and I’ll keep everyone up to date as I learn more.
