Spontaneous Play in Children with Autism: A Reappraisal.
Libby, Sarah; Powell, Stuart; Messer, David; Jordan, Rita
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v28 n6 p487-97 Dec 1998
A study of developmentally matched children with autism (n=9), with Down syndrome (n=9), and typical peers (n=9) investigated play abilities. Although it was possible to distinguish the pattern of play behaviors of children with autism from the other two groups, symbolic play skills were not totally absent. (Author/CR)
