Social Cognition Skills among Females with Fragile X.

Mazzocco, Michele M. M.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v24 n4 p473-85 Aug 1994

This study of 46 women with the fragile X gene and 56 controls found that performance on emotion perception and perspective-taking tasks was related to full-scale IQ scores but not to fragile X group status when effects of IQ were removed. Results represent a differentiation between fragile X and autism. (Author/JDD)
