Tsai, Luke Y.; Stewart, Mark A.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v13 n1 p57-65 Mar 1983
Birth order and maternal ages at time of birth were compared for 113 autistic children (3 to 12 years old) and the Iowa general population. An excess of mothers aged 35 or older was observed in the autistic group. A deviation from average in birth order was observed in autistics. (Author/SEW)
