Most studies have reported autistic children as coming from upper social economic status (SES) families. A few studies have not found any such social class bias. An empirical study was conducted on a statewide sample of families with autistic children. It was hypothesized that autistic children from high SES families would be associated with 7 social class selection factors: early age of onset; early age of treatment admission; normal cognitive potential; complex rituals with maintenance of sameness; long distance traveled for treatment; limited availability of servies; and very detailed child history. Four factors distinguished high SES from low SES families in the predicted direction. Implications for research and treatment are discussed.
