“…However, subsequent work (Kolvin, 1971;Short & Schopler, 1988;Volkmar, Cohen, Hoshino, Rende, & Paul, 1988;Volkmar, Stier, & Cohen, 1985) made it clear that in a smaller number of cases, parents report normal development for 12-18 months before the development of typical autistic features. For example, in some cases early milestones such as sitting, walking, and first words are age appropriate, and then speech disappears only a few months after the child had begun using words (Kurita, 1985).…”

Information on age and nature of the onset of autism and other developmental disorders was obtained through review of parent completed developmental history; in addition information on the child's early development, diagnostic information, and information on parent characteristics was also obtained. In this relatively large series of cases the parents of children with autism were more likely than parents of children with other developmental disorders to report possible loss of developmental skills. However, the question of actual skill loss was complicated since in some cases parents also had reported even earlier developmental delays or a pattern more of developmental stagnation than clear loss of abilities. Only a few children exhibited a clear and unequivocal loss of developmental skills.

“…autistic relationships with people, abnormalities of speech, stereotypic behaviour, abnormalities in response to sensory stimuli; and abnormal fears. It is also notable that lack of eye contact or "gaze avoidance" which was the most discriminating attribute in this classification was also found by Kolvin et al (1971) to be the best discriminator between groups of early and late onset psychotic children. Their late onset group however contained children with a considerably later onset than that of our Class 2 although many of the findings are similar.…”

Summary A form of numerical taxonomy was used to classify a group of 162 psychotic children on the basis of case history data supplied by the parents on the Rimland diagnostic checklist. The subjects were grouped into two classes. Class 1 included children with early onset of the psychosis who showed numerous withdrawal and aloneness symptoms and impaired communication; Class 2 included subjects with later onset whose symptoms were more heterogeneous and scattered than those in Class 1. The two classes differed significantly on 29 of the 67 attributes on which they were measured. The findings are interpreted as supporting a system of classification in childhood psychosis in terms of age of onset.

“…Much of the later work in this area (eg, the seminal papers by Kolvin et al [6]) concentrated on identifying the disparities between the two disorders, including age at onset and differing outcomes. During the past two decades, the core syndromes of PDD and childhood-onset schizophrenia have been clearly described, and research has focused on the identifi cation of psychosis and other mental illnesses in the PDD population.…”

Pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) and infantile schizophrenia were initially thought to be the same condition, but distinct differences were described in later research. However, attempts to identify psychosis in individuals with PDDs continue to be challenging and controversial. The two disorders share many similar features, including perceptual abnormalities, thought disorder, catatonia, and deficiencies in reality testing. Progress has been made in describing features of PDDs that can be confused with psychosis and in surveying the prevalence of psychotic symptoms in populations with intellectual disability, although there are fewer data on PDD populations. Further research is needed on the longitudinal course of PDDs and the relationships with adult disorders such as psychosis and mood disorders. This research would not only improve the diagnosis and treatment of these complex disorders but would help to unravel the complex brain pathways involved in the perception of the external world that is central to psychosis and PDDs.
