Social Influence and the Autism Epidemic

Address at birth does not allow us to infer where a child grew up. However, for children with younger siblings, we can infer the residential location for those who reside at the address reported on the younger full sibling’s birth record. … Yet for those families who have not moved between the two births, we have an uninterrupted observation window on the elder children with information on residence.

Clever!
