Abstract

When we observe and assess the social play and friendship skills of children with Asperger syndrome (AS), we recognize a delay in the conceptualization of friendship. The child may have an overall intellectual ability within the normal range, but the understanding of friendship skills resembles that of a much younger child. However, it is not simply a matter of developmental delay. There are aspects that are conspicuously unusual for any of the developmental stages (Church, Alisanski, & Amanullah, 2000).

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 13 Sep 2026 01:04.
