[Autism Asperger of early schizophrenia (author's transl)].
Sometimes there exist difficulties to differentiate between adolescents with autistic personalities (autistic psychopathy, Asperger) and schizophrenia. The authors describe a 16-years old autistic boy demonstrating that a clear cut separation of these two different nosologic entities is only possible by means of a longitudinal observation. By this method psychopathological disturbances will be interpreted correct and within the context of the underlying syndrome.
