Imitation and Pantomime in High-Functioning Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Rogers, Sally J.; And Others
Child Development, v67 n5 p2060-73 Oct 1996
Examined imitation and pantomime abilities in 17 high-functioning adolescents with autism and in 15 comparison subjects with dyslexia or other learning disorders, matched on chronological age and verbal IQ. Found no support for the symbolic deficit hypothesis; meaning aided, rather than hindered, the performance of the group with autism. (MDM)
