ASPERGER SYNDROME IN 23 SWEDISH CHILDREN

Gillberg, Christopher·1989·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: Twenty‐three Swedish children aged five to 18 years who fulfilled specific criteria for Asperger syndrome were examined and compared with an age‐ and IQ‐matched group with infantile autism. The boy:girl ratio was 10:1. Less than 10 per cent were mentally retarded and 17 per cent were of above‐average intelligence. Apart from motor clumsiness (very common in the Asperger group) and reduced optimality in the prenatal and perinatal periods (more common in the autistic group), there was very little in the clinical or neurobiological backgrounds to suggest a clear distinction between Asperger syndrome and infantile autism. RÉSUMÉ: Syndrome d'Asperger chez 23 jeunes suédois: étude clinique Vingt trois jeunes suédois agés de cinq à 18 ans et présentant les signes caractéristiques du syndrome d'Asperger ont été examinés et compared avec un groupe d'autisme infantile, apparté pour l'âge et le QI. Le ratio garcon/fille était de 10:1. Moins de 10 pour cent étalent mentalement retardés et 17 pour cent étaient d'intelligence supéieure à la moyenne. En dehors de la maladresse motrice (très habituelle dans le groupe Asperger) et de l'optimalitè réduite pour la période prénatale et périnatale (plus fréquente dans le groupe autistique), il y avait très peu de manifestations cliniques ou neurobiologiques pouvant suggéier une nette distinction entre syndrome d'Aspeger et autisme infantile. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Asperger Syndrom bei 23 schwedischen Kindern: eine klinische Studie 23 schwedische Kinder im Alter von fünf bis 18 Jahren, die bestimmte Kriterien für das Asperger Syndrom erfüllten, wurden untersucht und mit einer Gruppe von Kindern mit kindlichem Autismus mit entsprechendem Alter und IQ verglichen. Das Verhältnis Jungen zu Mädchen betrug 10:1. Weniger als 10 Prozent waren geistig retardiert und 17 waren überdurchschnittlich intelligent. Neben motorischer Unbeholfenheit (sehr häufig beim Asperger Syndrom) und verminderter Optimalität in der Prä‐ und Perinatalperiode (häufiger in der autistischen Gruppe) fand sich klinisch und neurobiologisch wenig, was eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen dem Asperger Syndrom und dem kindlichen Autismus darstellt. RESUMEN: Sindrome de Asperger en 23 niños suecos: estudio clínico Veintitrés niños suecos de cinco a 18 aflos de edad, que cumplian los criterios especificos del sindrome de Asperger, fueron examinados y comparados con un grupe semejante de niños con autismo. La relación nino/nifla era de 10:1. Menos del 10 por ciento eran retrasados mentales y 17 por ciento tenian una inteligencia por encima de la media. Aparte de una torpeza motora (más corriente en el grupo Asperger) y una optimalidad reducida en lose periodos pre y perinatal (más corriente en el grupo autfstico), habia muy pocos caracteres elfnicos y neurobiologicos que pudiesen sugeir una distinción clara entre el sindrome de Asperger y el autismo infantil.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
