TLDR
Boys were more often psychotic than girls; there was some suggestion of a greater risk to the first born in the I.P.O. group only.Abstract:
1. More parents of children with infantile psychosis belonged to social classes I and II and more parents of children with late onset psychosis to social classes IV and V.
2. A trend was demonstrated in the mothers of L.O.P. children towards a degree of social isolation. This was attributed to their personalities, whereas any social isolation in the mothers of I.P. children was thought to be a withdrawal secondary to the illness of their children.
3. Parents of the I.P. group had a low rate of schizophrenia, parents of the L.O.P. group a significantly high rate, suggesting a genetic connection between L.O.P. of childhood and adult schizophrenia.
4. Boys were more often psychotic than girls; there was some suggestion of a greater risk to the first born in the I.P. group only.read more

The influence of age and sex on the onset and early course of schizophrenia.
TL;DR: The early course of the disease was similar across age groups, except there was a longer period of negative symptoms before first admission in late-onset schizophrenia in women, and the few significant age differences in symptoms were presumably due to general age-dependent reaction patterns like anxiety and depression or the cognitive development of personality.

TL;DR: Although the findings continue to support the differentiation of autism and schizophrenia, they are also consistent with a comorbidity of the two disorders, mainly in those diagnosed with autism.
