Abstract

Season of birth in 328 children with infantile autism and other types of childhood psychoses born between 1945 and 1980 was compared with that of a control population born in the same period. For some parts of the period (the years 1951-56, 1963-68 and 1975-80 combined) an excess of March born boys with infantile autism was found. For boys with autistic-like disorders, born in the same period a maximum occurred in November, while no seasonality was observed for a borderline sample.
