Twenty-five autistic children, constituting a total population sample of children with infantile autism, were compared with 25 sex- and maternity-clinic-matched controls for occurrence of reduced optimality in the pre-, peri, and neonatal period, as noted in medical records. Autistic children showed greatly increased scores for reduced optimality, especially with regard to prenatal factors. The findings are at odds with early reports that children with autism had not suffered potential brain injury. The reasons for the discrepancy are discussed.
对25名自闭症儿童（构成了婴儿自闭症儿童的总体样本）与25名性别和产科门诊匹配的对照组进行了比较，以研究医学记录中所记载的出生前、围产期和新生儿期最优性降低的发生率。自闭症儿童在最优性降低方面的得分大幅增加，尤其是在产前因素方面。这些发现与早期关于自闭症儿童未遭受潜在脑损伤的报告不一致。文中讨论了这种差异的原因。
