Autism and Learning Disability
O'Brien, Gregory; Pearson, Joanne
Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v8 n2 p125-140 Jun 2004

Although both disorders show overlap in some behaviours they are different in many aspects. Are they distinct syndromes which influence each other, or do they belong to a broad spectrum of a condition?
