Sixty individuals are described who have lifelong eccentricity and social isolation and who have sought psychiatric treatment as a direct or an indirect result. They were predominantly young and, as in other samples of autistic people, male (6M: 1F). Most of them were of normal intelligence. They were all profoundly socially handicapped: few had lived independently, had lasting sexual relationships or spent much time in employment. Nearly a half of the subjects had been involved in antisocial behaviour at some stage. Nearly a quarter had committed a criminal offence. Violence was usually domestic, most often directed against the mother. Forty-eight per cent of subjects had a second psychiatric disorder (11.7% had a psychosis).
本文描述了60名终生行为古怪且社会孤立的个体，他们因直接或间接原因寻求过精神科治疗。他们大多为年轻人，与其他自闭症患者样本一样，男性居多（男6例：女1例）。他们大多智力正常。他们都存在严重的社交障碍：很少有人能够独立生活、维持长期的性关系或有长时间的工作经历。近一半的受试者在某些阶段曾有过反社会行为。近四分之一的人曾有过刑事犯罪记录。暴力行为通常发生在家庭内部，最常见的是针对母亲。48%的受试者患有第二种精神障碍（11.7%患有精神病）。
