    This study examines identical triplets with Asperger's syndrome, noting variations in symptom severity. Findings suggest autism and Asperger's syndrome exist on a shared continuum, influenced by developmental factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurodevelopmental disorders
    • Psychiatry
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Investigating the relationship between Asperger's syndrome and childhood autism.
    • Exploring the genetic and environmental influences on autism spectrum disorders.
    • Understanding the spectrum of autistic conditions and their diagnostic criteria.

    Observation:

    • Presents case histories of 17-year-old identical male triplets diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
    • Details characteristic impairments: social interaction, non-verbal communication, imagination, motor clumsiness, and circumscribed interests.
    • Notes overlapping features with childhood autism in their history and behavior.

    Findings:

    • Identical triplets exhibit Asperger's syndrome with varying degrees of symptom severity.

  • Peri- and post-natal trauma, intellectual impairment, and autistic features correlate with symptom manifestation.
  • Results support the hypothesis that autism and Asperger's syndrome are part of a single pathological continuum.

    • Implications:

    • Suggests a unified etiological and pathological basis for autism and Asperger's syndrome.
    • Highlights the importance of considering developmental factors and trauma in autism spectrum disorders.
    • Informs diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions for individuals on the autism spectrum.
