Outcome in High-Functioning Adults with Autism with and without Early Language Delays: Implications for the Differentiation between Autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Howlin, Patricia
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n1 p3-13 Feb 2003
This study compared 34 adults who had shown early delays in language (high functioning autism) with 42 similar individuals with no such delays (Asperger Syndrome). No significant differences were found between groups on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), their social outcome ratings or ADI-R scores based on current functioning, or on tests of language comprehension and expression.
