Definitely an interesting hypothesis. I agree that there cannot be a linear correlation, as I have seen the negative effects of excess prenatal testosterone in my work with neonates. Gives more weight to their idea of increased testosterone sensitivity vs. excess level of the hormone. As well, they postulate that it is exposure in the second and third trimester that is important. In my DD's case... she missed most of the third trimester and was born preterm. I have often wondered/worried what my complicated pregnancy and horrendous delivery did to her little brain. It would be nice to think that it did something nice to it, as well.
