Graded change in the treatment of the behaviour of autistic children.
TL;DR: A method of introducing slight and gradual changes into the autistic child's environment is discussed and two case histories are given where this technique has been used to reduce the attachment to objects at the same time working on increasing sociability and attachment to people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating psychological treatments for children with autism-spectrum disorders
TL;DR: This article assesses the evidence base for some of the better evaluated therapies for autism and suggests that the focus of research now needs to shift to the study of which components of therapy work best for which children and under which conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and gender-related differences in emotional and behavioural problems and autistic features in children and adolescents with Down syndrome: a survey-based study of 674 individuals
TL;DR: Little association between age and behavioural or emotional problems or with severity of autistic symptomatology was found, however, peer problems were more common in adolescents than in junior school children and hyperactivity/inattention was less prevalent among adolescents.

Journal ArticleDOI
Analyzing mothers' speech to young autistic children: a methodological study.
TL;DR: A 17-category system was developed which could encompass almost all the types of speech shown by mothers of young autistic and normal children and which differentiated between the speech used by different mothers in a way that was meaningfully related to the child's level of language development.
