It is often difficult to decide whether a preschool child who does not communicate effectively has a developmental disorder limited to language, has behaviours that indicate autism with or without mental deficiency, or across-the-board mental deficiency without autistic features. All of these disorders denote abnormal brain development, but standard medical and neurologic examinations and tests such as brain imaging, EEGs, chromosome and chemical tests rarely provide an answer. Careful attention to the child's language and behaviour, ability to play creatively, and analysis of neuropsychologic tests and language are much more informative for arriving at a correct diagnosis. This is one of the largest multidisciplinary studies which has considered the problem of making a diagnosis among these often confusing and difficult to test young children and considers explicitly the practical consequences of using different criteria for making a diagnosis.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Overall, the authors have done an excellent job of presenting the results from a complex project, providing cogent summaries of the findings in each area of analysis, and interpreting the implications of the findings for clinical evaluation and interpretation." Linda R. Watson, Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics
Book Description
Accurate diagnosis of the cause of ineffective communication in the preschool child is not possible simply through use of standard neurological and medical examinations. Distinguishing language limited disorders from those concommitant with mental deficiency or autism requires careful attention to a wide range of behaviour patterns, study of creative play and analysis of neuropsychologic and language tests. This volume presents the results of one of the largest multidisiplinary studies which considers the practical problems of diagnosis through use of these different criteria.
