School Refusal in Pervasive Developmental Disorders.

Kurita, Hiroshi

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v21 n1 p1-15 Mar 1991

Of 135 autistic and/or mentally retarded Tokyo youngsters, 30 with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) and 2 with nonautistic mental retardation exhibited school refusal. School refusal was significantly more frequent in other PDDs than in nonautistic mental retardation. The intellectual level was significantly higher in PDD children with school refusal than those without it. (Author/JDD)
