TLDR
A simple system of subgrouping based solely on a description of the type of social impairment will be used, which avoids the confusion inherent in trying to identify the named syndromes.Abstract:
simple practical skills and social adaptation from early childhood and that abnormalities were recognisable from the second year of life. Many clinicians diagnose on their interpretation of Asperger’s clinical descriptions, rather than insisting on normal development before 3 years in the areas mentioned. In this article, a simple system of subgrouping based solely on a description of the type of social impairment will be used, which avoids the confusion inherent in trying to identify the named syndromes. This simple subgrouping has proved helpful in clinical practice even though the groups are no more sharply differentiated and permanent than in any other existing method of classification in the specialty.read more

Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition
TL;DR: It is argued and present evidence that great apes understand the basics of intentional action, but they still do not participate in activities involving joint intentions and attention (shared intentionality), and children's skills of shared intentionality develop gradually during the first 14 months of life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a consecutive series of children with chronic enterocolitis and regressive developmental disorder, and identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers.

Sensory processing in children with and without autism: a comparative study using the short sensory profile.
Scott Tomchek,Winnie Dunn +1 more
TL;DR: These findings begin to confirm the prevalence and types of sensory processing impairments in autism and are needed to more clearly define patterns of sensoryprocessing in people with ASD.

Recognition of Faux Pas by Normally Developing Children and Children with Asperger Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism
TL;DR: A new test of theory of mind, designed for children 7–11 years old, which shows that whereas normal 9- to 11-year-old children were skilled at detecting faux pas, children with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism were impaired on this task.

TL;DR: Specific detailed recommendations for each level have been established in this document, which are intended to improve the rate of early suspicion and diagnosis of, and therefore early intervention for, autism.

Lorna Wing,Judith Gould +1 more
TL;DR: The prevalence, in children aged under 15, of severe impairments of social interaction, language abnormalities, and repetitive stereotyped behaviors was investigated in an area of London, and a system of classification based on quality ofsocial interaction was considered.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that autism is under a high degree of genetic control and suggest the involvement of multiple genetic loci.
