  • Title: Social attachments in autistic children.
    Author: Sigman M, Mundy P.
    Journal: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry; 1989 Jan; 28(1):74-81. PubMed ID: 2464573.
    Abstract:
    Social responses of young autistic children to separation from and reunion with their caregivers did not differ from the social responses to similar situations of young mentally retarded nonautistic children. Most autistic children directed more social behaviors to their caregivers than to strangers and increased their preferential behavior after separation. Individual differences in social responses were not associated with the level of representational skills shown by the autistic children.
