Gillberg, C.
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, v25 n1 p35-43 Jan 1984
A total population screening of children born from 1962 to 1976 who lived in the Gothenberg region at the end of 1980 was carried out to obtain prevalence figures for infantile autism and other childhood psychoses. Prevalence was found to be approximately two per 10,000; boys were more affected by infantile autism than were girls. (RH)
