Williams, Emma; Reddy, Vasudevi; Costall, Alan
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v31 n1 p67-77 Feb 2001
The functional play of children with autism (n=15) was compared to that of developmentally matched children with Down syndrome (n=15) and typical infants (n=15). The functional play of the children with autism was less elaborated, less varied, and less integrated than that of the controls. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
