Dissanayake, Cheryl; Crossley, Stella A.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v27 n3 p295-312 Jun 1997
A study of 16 children with autism, 16 typical children, and 16 children with Downs syndrome (ages 3-6) investigated children's responses to separation and reunion with their mothers. No differences were found between groups; however, the children with disabilities showed more individual variation in separation and reunion patterns. (Author/CR)
