There's also a study showing that SSRIs in water cause autism in fish. It's no fire, but there's certainly smoke:
Antidepressants in water trigger autism genes in fish (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21882-antidepressants-in-water-trigger-autism-genes-in-fish.html)
Maybe this is the study your doctor is referencing? Antidepressant use during pregnancy and childhood autism spectrum disorders (PDF file) (http://www.issues4life.org/pdfs/iariskptb034.pdf) (It's actually quite easy to find copies of journal articles listed in Medline for free, just google the journal article in quotation marks and look for a PDF link and if all else fails, email one of the lead authors and politely ask if they would sent you the file--you'd be amazed how often this works.)
