Abstract

A study of 57 boys with fragile X syndrome (ages 24-133 months) assessed the extent to which autism and autistic features were evident using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Fourteen subjects scored above the cut-off for autism, with 12 of the 14 in the mildly or moderately autistic range. (Author/CR)
