Cause: Parental Exposure to Dry-Cleaning Agents
A reader (who wants me to write an article on autism and paternal age-- I swear I'm getting to it) sent me a reference to a 2007 article finding
an increased rate of schizophrenia in those born to parents who were dry cleaners
... The authors speculate it's tetrachloroethylene exposure.
