Can Standard Measures Identify Subclinical Markers of Autism?

Ozonoff, Sally; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n3 p429-41 Sep 1993

This study provides support for a potential subclinical marker in the executive function domain of siblings (n=18, ages 8-18) of autistic individuals, compared to learning-disabled controls. No group differences in theory-of-mind abilities were found. The need to develop more sensitive measures is discussed. (Author/JDD)
