Measures were compared over time for the whole group and for diagnostic subgroups: Childhood autism (CA group) and Other PDDs group. The mean intelligence quotient/developmental quotient (IQ/DQ) of the whole group was stable (P=0.209) and scores on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) decreased (P=0.001). At time 2, the CA group was more impaired than the other PDDs group: autistic symptoms were more severe (P=0.01), adaptive behavior scores were lower (P=0.014), and a trend for lower IQ/DQs (P=0.06). Children in this study seemed to fare better than reported in previous follow-up studies on children with autism.
