Season of Birth in Autism: A Fiction Revisited
Abstract
Variations of season of birth among autistic individuals were studied. The replicability of previously reported increases in birth rates in the months of March and August were examined in groups of individuals with autism or mental retardation (the comparison group). The sample was obtained from the Yale Child Study Center Developmental Disabilities Clinic and from the DSM-IV Autism/PDD field trial. Data were analyzed by applying the Jonckheere test of ordinal trend and the chi-square test, with Yates correction factor. With respect to March and August births, and with calculations based on the beginning and middle of the month, no significant seasonal effect was observed. Samples were subcategorized into verbal and mute groups, and again results failed to support the seasonality hypothesis.

In the citing paper
“Landau et al. (1999) included cases with autism from different regions with different environmental influences and controls were individuals with mental retardation [86]. Disorders of neurodevelopment may share the same environmental influences and inclusion of these disorders in the control group may mask the seasonal variability among groups.”

In the citing paper
“Not all studies showed an association between season of birth and risk of autism [64,77,79,81,83,84,85,86].”

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.
