To summarize our 10-year experience with autistic children at the Tel Aviv Child Development Center, the files of all 55 children with autism treated at our center over a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Particular attention was addressed to the value of the medical work-up in detecting the etiology of autism and to factors differentiating infantile autism (IA) from autistic-like behavior (ALB). Twenty-four subjects (44%) had IA and 31 (56%) had ALB. These subgroups were compared for demographic, perinatal, familial, neurological, and psychological findings, and outcome at discharge. Associated medical conditions and the yield of metabolic work-up and neuroimaging and electroencephalography studies are discussed. The two subgroups differed only in severity of autistic symptoms and cognitive function (P<0.05), but not in demographic or neurobiological findings. It was concluded that IA and ALB are similar conditions, and autism has a wide continuum of clinical expressions.
