Timing of Social Gaze Behavior in Children with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

Willemsen-Swinkels, Sophie H. N.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Weijnen, Florence G.; van Engeland, Herman

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v28 n3 p199-210 Jun 1998

A study found that 13 low-functioning children (ages 3-7) with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) showed fewer social initiatives than 19 high-functioning children with PDD, 19 children with language disorders, and 19 controls. Higher-functioning children with PDD differed from non-PDD controls in levels of visual checking and of returning gaze. (Author/CR)
