自闭症现在被认为是一出生就存在的。虽然通常直到孩子两岁生日后才正式确诊，但父母经常在那之前报告有精神障碍。发现障碍的年龄各不相同，可能与自闭症及其相关发育迟缓的严重程度不同有关。本研究对193例广泛性发育障碍儿童的发育特征进行了评估，所有受试者均采用相同的标准程序。我们的目标是确定父母认识到障碍的年龄和障碍严重程度之间的关系。结果主要表明早期异常、相关的医疗状况和认知测试中测量的严重程度之间存在联系。他们建议对非常年幼的儿童进行系统的自闭症迹象筛查。
Autism is now thought to be present right from birth. Although usually not officially diagnosed until after the child's second birthday, parents often report disturbances before then. The age of detection of disturbances varies and may be linked to differences in the severity of the autism and its associated retardation. This study evaluates the developmental characteristics of 193 children with pervasive developmental disorder, using the same standard procedures for all subjects. Our goal was to determine the relationship between age of parental recognition of disturbances and disorder severity. The results indicated mainly a link between early abnormalities, associated medical condition and severity measured on cognitive tests. They suggest systematic screening for signs of autism in very young children.
