TL;DR
Subtypes of children with PDD can be identified that differ on variables relatively independent of defining characteristics, and these findings should provide a firm foundation into research to determine whether children with autism and Asperger's syndrome also differ on outcome, etiology, and response to treatment.
Abstract
Subtypes of children with PDD can be identified that differ on variables relatively independent of defining characteristics. These findings should provide a firm foundation into research to determine whether children with autism and Asperger's syndrome also differ on outcome, etiology, and response to treatment.

Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersAutism diagnostic interview: A standardized investigator-based instrument
1,035 Citations1989Ann Le Couteur, Michael Rutter +5 more
The development of a new standardized investigator-based interview for use in the differential diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders is described, together with a diagnostic algorithm (using ICD-10 criteria) based on its use.

417 Citations1991Sally Ozonoff, Sally J. Rogers +1 more
This study compared the neuropsychological profiles of individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA) and Asperger's syndrome (AS) and suggests that HFA and AS are empirically distinguishable on measures independent of diagnostic criteria.

324 Citations1990Péter Szatmári, LAWRENCE TUFF +2 more
Whether children with Asperger's Syndrome have similar neurocognitive deficits compared to nonretarded, or high-functioning autistic children; and whether the essential cognitive deficit among these children is in language or abstract problem solving are examined.

298 Citations1989David R. Offord, Michael H. Boyle +1 more
The results indicate that the prevalence and pattern of correlates of the individual disorders differ in important ways by informant, suggesting that the factors that influence assessments provided by informants from different contexts need to be understood before combining information from them to arrive at singular classifications.

297 Citations1989Péter Szatmári, G. Bartolucci +1 more
There were no substantive, qualitative differences between the AS and autistic groups, indicating that AS should be considered a mild form of high‐functioning autism, and the inclusion of AS among the autistic spectrum of disorders has implications for aetiological studies and for prevalence estimates of the pervasive developmental disorders.

290 Citations1989Christopher Gillberg
Twenty‐three Swedish children aged five to 18 years who fulfilled specific criteria for Asperger syndrome were examined and compared with an age‐ and IQ‐matched group with infantile autism, finding very little in the clinical or neurobiological backgrounds to suggest a clear distinction.

155 Citations1994Jonathan Fine, Giampiero Bartolucci +2 more
Investigated the use of cohesive links to create a reciprocal conversation in individuals with autism, Asperger syndrome, and a control group of children and adolescents with nonspecific social problems, finding the higher functioning autistic group referred less to a previous stretch of the conversation and more to an aspect of the physical environment.
