by Ellen Luteijn, Sandy Jackson, Fred Volkmar and Ruud Minderaa, (1998) Jr. Autism and developmental Disorders, 28, 559-565.

“PDDNOS children might have problems interpreting social information when there is a strong affective component.”

“The availability of an instrument specifically designed for PDDNOS problems would enhance both research and clinical work with this population.”(p. 560).

“The results demonstrate that the CSBQ provides a good basis for distinguishing the characteristics of PDDNOS children from those of normal children.”.

“ ... general observation of the PDDNOS group during testing for this study suggested that at least two separate groups – a hyperactive and a withdrawn one- were identifiable.” (p. 564).
