对70例男性Alzheimer综合征（AS）和70例男性孤独症患者在最初诊断后5年以上进行前瞻性随访研究。随访时使用的工具包括总体临床评估、社交和沟通障碍诊断访谈、韦氏智力量表、Vineland适应行为量表和功能总体评估量表。使用了特定的结局标准。27%的AS患者结局良好。然而，26%的人的生活非常有限，没有职业/活动，没有朋友。自闭症组的结果明显更糟。男性AS的结果比正常到高智商的预期结果更差。然而，结果比自闭症患者的对照组要好得多。
Prospective follow-up study of 70 males with Asperger syndrome (AS), and 70 males with autism more than 5 years after original diagnosis. Instruments used at follow-up included overall clinical assessment, the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders, Wechsler Intelligence Scales, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and Global Assessment of Functioning Scale. Specific outcome criteria were used. Outcome in AS was good in 27% of cases. However, 26% had a very restricted life, with no occupation/activity and no friends. Outcome in the autism group was significantly worse. Males with AS had worse outcomes than expected given normal to high IQ. However, outcome was considerably better than for the comparison group of individuals with autism.
