Data from 39 young children with autism or other pervasive developmental disorders were examined to determine the relevance of the age of social symptom onset and language symptom onset to other developmental variables. Contrary to the authors' hypotheses, earlier onset of social symptoms was not indicative of a greater severity of autistic symptoms, retardation, or incidence of insecure attachments. Early speech loss was associated with lower IQ, greater social deficits, and poorer language development, while the presence of useful speech at age 2 was related to better functioning in multiple domains. Thus, language functions, rather than the social behaviors examined, carried the greatest predictive power regarding short-term outcomes.
对39名患有自闭症或其他广泛性发育障碍的幼儿的数据进行了研究，以确定社交症状发作年龄和语言症状发作年龄与其他发育变量之间的相关性。与作者的假设相反，社交症状较早发作并不表明自闭症症状、智力迟钝或不安全依恋发生率更严重。早期语言丧失与较低的智商、更大的社交缺陷和较差的语言发展有关，而2岁时有用语言的存在与多个领域的更好功能有关。因此，就短期结果而言，语言功能而非所研究的社交行为具有最大的预测力。
