Evolution of the Frequency of Gestures in Boys with Autism Aged One to Three: A Study Based on Home Movies - 2006.
19
The authors of this paper studied the frequency of six categories of gestures carried out by eight boys with autism and eight typical boys aged 12–36 months. Films were divided into four 6-month periods. The results showed that the frequency of gestures was different between the typical and the autistic group according to the type of gesture and to the developmental period. Among others, in the autistic group, a “regressive profile” and a “defective profile” were observed depending on an increase in frequency during the 18–24 month period. The developmental level and the degree of autism were also different in both groups. These findings were compared with similar previous works.
