McClellan, Jon M.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n2 p243-62 Jun 1993

This study of 95 youths previously diagnosed with psychotic disorders found that at follow-up, 24 had a diagnosis of schizophrenia, 9 with psychotic mood disorders, 5 with personality disorders, and 1 with schizo-affective disorder. The study confirmed findings regarding early onset schizophrenia and psychotic mood disorders and emphasized the problem of misdiagnosis at onset. (Author/JDD)
