最近的研究表明，自闭症儿童的象征（或假装）游戏受到损害。然而，此类研究要么使用了不充分的“假装”定义，要么没有检验自发游戏。据报道，一项实验试图克服这些困难。这证实，与非自闭症弱智儿童和正常对照组相比，自闭症儿童进行假装游戏的能力严重受损。这是根据符号赤字理论进行讨论的（Ricks 和 Wing，1975）。有人认为，当“符号”被定义为“二阶表征”时，该理论就有可能将自闭症的社交障碍和假装障碍联系起来。该理论有待更充分的测试。
Recent work suggests autistic children are impaired in their symbolic (or pretend) play. However, such studies have either used inadequate definitions of ''pretend'', or have not examined spontaneous play. An experiment is reported which attempts to overcome these difficulties. This confirms that autistic children are severely impaired in their ability to produce pretend play, in contrast to non-autistic retarded and normal controls. This is discussed in terms of the symbolic deficit theory (Ricks and Wing, 1975). It is argued that when a ''symbol'' is defined as being a ''second-order representation'', this theory has the potential to link both the social and pretend impairments in autism. The theory awaits more adequate testing.
