这项研究分析了85名自闭症婴儿（64名男孩和21名女孩）在出生后一年内头围（HC）的增加情况。这些数据是从他们的“母亲和婴儿”笔记本中收集的。这本笔记本是一份婴儿成长和发育的医疗记录，交付给所有在日本出生的婴儿的父母。这是一项回顾性研究，收集了自闭症诊断后笔记本上的数据。然而，在记录的时候，这些婴儿都不知道患有自闭症。这些自闭症儿童出生时的头围与日本政府对14115名儿童进行的一项研究的平均值相似。然而，在出生后1个月，它显示出明显的增加。差异在6个月时达到峰值，而在12个月时差异变小。体长（BL）和体重（BW）在3个月时开始增加，但增加的速度小于头围的增加速度。
This study analyzed the increase in head circumference (HC) of 85 autistic infants (64 boys and 21 girls) during their first year of life. The data were collected from their "mother-and-baby" notebooks. This notebook is a medical record of the baby's growth and development delivered to the parents of all babies born in Japan. This is a retrospective study which gathered the data from the notebooks after the diagnosis of autism. However, none of the babies were known to have autism at the time the records were made. The head circumference at birth of these autistic children was similar to that of the average found in a Japanese Government Study of 14,115 children. However, it showed a marked increase at 1 month after birth. The discrepancy reached a peak at 6 months, while the difference became smaller at 12 months. Body length (BL) and body weight (BW) began to increase at 3 months, although at a rate smaller than the head circumference increase.
