Urinary Cortisol Circadian Rhythm in a Group of High-Functioning Children with Autism.
Richdale, Amanda L.; Prior, Margot R.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v22 n3 p433-47 Sep 1992
This study found no evidence for abnormal temporal placement of the basal urinary cortisol circadian rhythm in a group of 18 high-functioning children (ages 4-14) with autism. There was a tendency toward cortisol hypersecretion during the day, predominantly in autistic children who were integrated into the normal school system. (Author/JDD)
