In a French Department (Rhône), the prevalence of infantile autism was found to be 10.8 per 10,000 in the 5-9 age group, using broad operational criteria. The prevalence decreases to 5.1 per 10,000 when another set of criteria, similar to DSM-III, is used. The boy/girl sex ratios for these two sets of criteria were 2.1:1 and 2.3:1 respectively. The use of DSM-III turned out to be problematic for taking into account a broad spectrum of early psychotic disorders, autistic-like, yet more polymorphous. A subdivision concerning the existence of associated major neurological anomalies has appeared promising but requires finer validation.
在法国的一个省（罗讷省），采用宽泛的操作标准发现，5至9岁年龄组的幼儿自闭症患病率为每10000人中有10.8例。当使用另一套类似于《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM - III）的标准时，患病率降至每10000人中有5.1例。这两套标准的男/女性别比分别为2.1:1和2.3:1。事实证明，使用DSM - III难以考虑到广泛的早期精神障碍，这些障碍类似自闭症，但更为多样。关于是否存在相关主要神经异常的细分显示出前景，但需要更精细的验证。
