Behavioural characteristics and autistic features in individuals with Cohen Syndrome.
[cohen syndrome]
Diagnostic
criteria
for
Cohen
Syndrome
are
based
largely
on
physical
characteristics
,
and
systematic
information
about
behaviour
and
social
functioning
is
limited
.
Typically
,
individuals
with
this
condition
are
described
as
being
very
sociable
and
as
showing
low
rates
of
pathology
.
However
,
recent
studies
have
indicated
that
behavioural
difficulties
may
occur
more
frequently
than
previously
suggested
and
that
autistic
features
may
be
relatively
common
.
The
present
investigation
of
45
individuals
with
Cohen
Syndrome
(
age
4
-
48
years
)
found
that
,
although
57
%
of
the
sample
were
reported
as
showing
some
behavioural
disturbance
,
problems
related
mainly
to
anxiety
and
social
interactions
;
marked
anti-social
behaviours
were
rare
.
Twenty
-
two
individuals
met
criteria
for
autism
on
standardised
diagnostic
assessments
,
although
the
"
autistic
profile
"
was
somewhat
atypical
.
The
implications
of
these
findings
for
our
understanding
of
Cohen
Syndrome
are
discussed
.
