Increased complexity of social category markers leads to diverse rule-based categorizations and reduced intergroup bias | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Social categories are key to human social life, often leading to intergroup bias and
stereotypes. While traditional studies use binary social markers, real-world markers
are more complex. This study e...

Here's the key chart from that piece.
Note what's on here with significant risk: genetic inheritance (twin on autism spectrum, sibling), third trimester stress, and factors that can affect maternal/paternal DNA.
What doesn't carry risk? SSRIs. Sonograms. And vaccination. All very well tested.
