The articles headline is misleading--however, the study is interesting... For the study, researchers looked at parents of 273 children with autism ages 7 to 18. They used the federal government’s Standard Occupational Classification system to divide parents into two groups — those with technical jobs requiring little social interaction versus those with non-technical jobs that are more people-oriented. Dads working in engineering are twice as likely to have a child with the developmental disorder while those in finance are four times more likely, the study found. Meanwhile, fathers working in the health care field have six times higher odds of their child being on the spectrum. One wonders what exactly is meant by healthcare, which is a field that attract people with technical skills but is also people oriented? What do you think?
