Communicative Behavior of Adults with an Autistic Four-Year-Old Boy and His Nonhandicapped Twin Brother.

Lord, Catherine; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v13 n1 p1-17 Mar 1983

The verbal behavior of 16 female preschool teachers was videotaped during play in dyads with a nonverbal socially unresponsive autistic four-year-old boy and his nonhandicapped fraternal twin brother. Language to the autistic child was simpler, more concrete, and more often accompanied by gestures than language to his brother. (Author/SEW)
