You are a family physician who regularly counsels your patients on family planning – specifically about what is a healthy interval of time for them to wait before starting to try having another baby.
You generally recommend about 18 months or so to ensure the best outcomes for mother and baby. Your colleague tells you that there is a new study out of Columbia University published in the journal Pediatrics that now suggests that short time intervals between pregnancies might increase the chances of having a child born with autism.
You wish to locate the PubMed citation to that study.
How do you go about finding it quickly?

PubMed’s default is to AND terms
