| ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOUR | PRESCHOOLERS | VINELAND BEHAVIOR SCALES | CHILDRENSummary: The vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales were used to investigate patterns of adaptive behaviour in children with autism who were under 36 months of age. Subjects were 30 children with autism and 30 children with developmental delay match on CA and MA. Relative to controls, the autistic group demonstrated weaker socialisation and communication skills and greater discrepancies between adative behaviour domains and cognitive and language skills were obtained for two groups. Preliminary support for the utility of adaptive behaviour profiles in identifying subgroups of children with autism is provided. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for early diagnosis of autism. [AJ].
