Abstract
A case study of a child with Sotos syndrome, normal intelligence, and autistic disorder is presented. Initial descriptions of Sotos syndrome included severe to mild mental retardation. More recent studies indicate language and learning disabilities with normal intelligence. Our patient met criteria for a diagnosis of autistic disorder. Sotos syndrome is another genetic and neurodevelopmental syndrome that can be associated with autistic as well as communication and language disorders.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
