Abstract

Objective: Separation anxiety results in introvertedness and hence a delay or loss in ontogenic behavior development which simulates autism. This study was designed to prove the hypothesis that autistic findings regress with a catch-up gain in ontogenic behavior development with re-attachment, if separation anxiety is the cause in at least a subgroup of children with autistic findings.
