Season of Birth in Autism: A Fiction Revisited.
Landau, Edwina C.; Cicchetti, Domenic V.; Klin, Ami; Volkmar, Fred R.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v29 n5 p385-93 Oct 1999

Statistical analysis of 904 cases revealed no significant seasonal effect. Samples were subcategorized into verbal and mute groups and again results failed to support the seasonal hypothesis.
