I have to laugh because by pure coincidence I did get the final paperwork of mine on the 31st of October, but there were a few months of realization, reading and of course sittings with the diagnostician.
The study only looks at the 10 +- weekdays around the last of the month, not the whole year. I'm certain there are other spikes. I'd like to argue that the day being something of a semi-holiday it might simply be easier to get an doctor's appointment that fits both the child and the parent schedule. It is also far enough into the school year for problems in the child's behaviour to show up and be referred to a doctor. Lastly, it's the last day of the month and with all admin being weird, it might even be that the data from the doctors is sloppy and earlier appointments get finished on the 31st for no other reason than finishing the month.
