The Fears, Phobias and Anxieties of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Down Syndrome: Comparisons with Developmentally and Chronologically Age Matched Children
Children with autism spectrum disorder have a distinct profile of fears.

Word loss is a feature that can be identified in children
with autistic disorders.
Empathising
and systemising in adults with and without Asperger Syndrome
Two psychological dimentions—emphathizing and systematizing—involved
in theory of mind are tested in individuals with Asperger syndrome.

Syndrome.
A study has shown there are no consistent differences
in social, communication, and repetitive/stereotyped behaviors between
