Hemispheric Specialization and the Language Abilities of Autistic Children.
Dawson, Geraldine; And Others
Child Development, v57 n6 p1440-53 Dec 1986

Autistic children with more advanced language abilities were more likely to exhibit a normal direction of hemispheric asymmetry. Implications are discussed. (Author/RH)
