Development of Adaptive Behavior in Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism and Down Syndrome.
Loveland, Katherine A.; Kelley, Michelle L.
American Journal of Mental Retardation, v93 n1 p84-92 Jul 1988
Sixteen individuals with autism and sixteen with Down's Syndrome, aged 10-29, were matched for verbal mental age. The groups' scores did not differ on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. However, the adaptive skills of Down's Syndrome individuals kept pace with mental age, while the skills of autistic subjects did not change. (Author/JDD)
