Bauminger, Nirit; Shulman, Cory; Agam, Galit
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n5 p489-507 Oct 2003
A study involving 18 high-functioning children (ages 8-17) with autism and 17 controls found that those with autism revealed a good understanding of social interaction and loneliness and demonstrated a high level of social initiation. They spent only half the time in social interactions with peers, however, compared to controls. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
