This case study describes in detail two autistic siblings who were mentioned in Rimland's analysis of checklists for psychotic children, as the only pair of classically early infantile autistic siblings (Rimland, 1971). One of the children, a nonverbal girl, now 13 years old, who developed epileptic seizures at age 41/2, shows all symptoms of early infantile autism even today. Her brother, now 24 years old, however, does not fit any of the known psychopathological patterns of childhood. The boy showed all symptoms of early infantile autism, but also some of the main characteristics of childhood schizophrenia and austic psychopathy. It is suggested that we are dealing perhaps with an unusual mixed type falling within a broad category of genetically determined types of autistic disorders.
本案例研究详细描述了林德兰德对精神病患儿检查表的分析中提到的一对自闭症兄妹，他们是仅有的一对典型的早期婴儿自闭症兄妹（林德兰德，1971年）。其中一个孩子是一名13岁的无语言能力女孩，她在4岁半时出现癫痫发作，即使在今天也表现出早期婴儿自闭症的所有症状。然而，她24岁的哥哥却不符合任何已知的儿童精神病理学模式。这个男孩表现出早期婴儿自闭症的所有症状，但也有儿童精神分裂症和自闭症精神病的一些主要特征。有人认为，我们可能正在处理一种不寻常的混合型，它属于由基因决定的广泛自闭症障碍类型。
