Camaioni, Luigia; Perucchini, Paola; Muratori, Filippo; Milone, Annarita – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
Examined the use of protoimperative and protodeclarative pointing gestures in three children with autism (ages 26 to 53 months) at 5-month intervals over two years. Imperative or instrumental functions emerged early in all three; declarative or experience sharing functions emerged later in two subjects and not at all in the third. (DB)
