However, the suitability of this measure has not previously been tested with community-referred infants.

This study tested the 'Extreme Male Brain' theory & androgyny accounts of Autism spectrum disorder.

This qualitative study of parental interviews provided a preliminary examination of whether behaviours consistent with the BAP may have been exacerbated by...
