A friend just put up a Facebook status asking if any mothers on her friend list had induced labours. A few say yes and then she links to an article on some random site claiming that the prostaglandin used in induction can cause autism. Then she links to a Baby Centre forum post about long eyelashes being a sign of autism. Apparently the opinions of the mothers on these forums trumps any research scientists do into ASD, in her opinion. But come on, surely you need to research a bit beyond forum threads before you start making claims??
