- A 14-year-old boy with mild mental retardation and behavioral features suggestive of the so called Asperger's syndrome is described. From the age of 8 years he has had recurrent episodes of lethargy. At the onset of puberty these episodes took on a more dramatic form and became more reminiscent of cycloid/manic-depressive psychosis. There is a family history of manic-depressive disorder. Neurobiological links with and differences from the syndrome of infantile autism were found. It is suggested that there is still too little evidence clearly to single out the entity of Asperger's syndrome from the spectrum of autistic syndromes.

Attention deficit disorder: diagnosis, prevalence, management and outcome.

- Some of the clinical and research problems associated with so-called attention deficit disorder (ADD), minimal brain dysfunction (MBD) and hyperactivity in childhood are surveyed. It is concluded that there is no international consensus as regards diagnostic criteria, prevalence of severe disorders is in the range of 1-5% of all preschool children, management is dependent on a wide variety of treatment facilities and that outcome is relatively poor in the 5- to 10-year perspective but that it may be somewhat better if the children are followed up to adult life.

Autism and Rett syndrome: some notes on differential diagnosis.

- Rett syndrome and infantile autism share the common symptom of autism, especially in the early stages of the disorders. In the later development of Rett syndrome autism sometimes becomes less prominent and there may also be clear differences as regards the quality of autistic behaviour in Rett syndrome and infantile autism. However, in infancy, the syndromes may be indistinguishable. The present paper deals briefly with this issue and suggests that in many girls referred in infancy for autistic symptoms Rett syndrome should be considered seriously as a primary diagnostic alternative.

Endorphin activity in childhood psychosis. Spinal fluid levels in 24 cases.
- 1985

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Twenty 2- to 13-year-old infantile autistic children (16 boys and four girls) and four 4- to 13-year-old children (two boys and two girls) with other kinds of childhood psychoses were compared with eight 6-month-old to 6-year-old normal children with regard to cerebrospinal fluid contents of endorphin fractions I and II. The psychosis groups showed higher mean cerebrospinal fluid endorphin fraction II levels, and 11 (55%) of the 20 autistic patients showed values higher than the highest in the group of normal children. There was a trend toward a correlation between high fraction II levels and self-destructiveness and decreased pain sensibility in the psychotic children. The results are regarded as preliminary but as warranting further research in this potentially fruitful field.
