The Development and Differentiation of Social Subtypes in Autism

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 14))

Abstract

Over 40 years of research on the behavioral syndrome of autism have yielded significant advances in our understanding of this perplexing disorder. As with most disciplines, the conceptualization of autism has been characterized by a series of reorganizations with adaptation (accommodation) to changes as new developments occur. For example, Kanner’s (1943) assertion of good cognitive potential in autistic persons was refuted by studies suggesting that as many as 70% to 80% were mentally retarded, with most of these individuals scoring in the moderate to severe ranges of intelligence (e. g., DeMyer et al., 1974; Wing & Gould, 1978). Accordingly, the American Psychiatric Association now includes Mental Retardation among its associated diagnostic features (DSM-II.1980). In fact, cognitive deficiency is now viewed by some as central to the pathogenesis of autistic disturbance (Rutter, 1983).
