[Phoinatric and audiological aspects of autism (author's transl)].
The diagnosis of autism or autistic traits always necessitates exclusion of a primary or secondary speech or hearing disorder. The following findings are based on experience gained from 12 children with the diagnosis of early infantile autism. If an acoustic or speaking disorder is caused by brain damage, it will increasingly dominate the total symptomatology as the child matures. The more intensively the organic factor influences the picture, the more frequently a primary acoustic or speech disorder is found. This was observed in 6 cases, which can be diagnosed an "pseudo autistic". From the phoniatric and audiological view the type of autism syndrome as described by Kanner has so far not been confirmed.
