Abstract

Recently we reported on the risk of first-time diagnosed autism for boys aged 2-5 years in annual birth cohorts of children born in 1988-1993.1 The study was based on information available in the U.K. General Practice Research Database (GPRD). Risks rose progressively throughout this study period and were 3-4 times higher in the 1993 birth cohort compared with the 1988 cohort. To determine whether the risks have continued to rise beyond the 1993 cohort, we examined birth cohorts of boys for the years up through 1998.
