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.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
