Clinical features of Asperger syndrome in adolescence
Abstract
16 male patients with Asperger syndrome aged 15–17 were studied. In the course of the study, it was revealed that in all adolescents, autistic symptoms themselves (stereotypes, echolalia, fear of the new) were reduced, but personality disorders were formed. Most patients (n=11) had behavioral disorders, 3 adolescents had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and 2 had depression.
