The authors describe the case of a twelve-year-old patient presenting early autism associated with congenital muscular dystrophy--subtype IV, according to the subclassification of Fukuyama (slight mental retardation, ability to walk, muscle pseudohypertrophy). To our knowledge, this association has never been reported. Several factors may have played a causative role in the development of an autistic disorder in the patient. The authors suggest the following as the most significant ones: disharmonious personality, weak emotional structure, inadequate primary relation with the mother, poor environmental influences, frustrations encountered because of the muscular disorder.
作者描述了一名12岁患者的病例，该患者患有与先天性肌营养不良——福山分类法中的IV型（轻度智力迟钝、能行走、肌肉假性肥大）相关的早期自闭症。据我们所知，这种关联从未有过报道。几个因素可能在该患者自闭症障碍的发展中起到了致病作用。作者认为以下因素最为重要：性格不协调、情感结构薄弱、与母亲的主要关系不充分、不良的环境影响、因肌肉疾病遭遇的挫折。
