Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Parents often have an inaccurate understanding of outcomes in autism, and developmentalists contribute to this when they omit consideration of cognitive functioning in their discussions with parents. Developmentalists need to incorporate information about cognitive levels (including intellectual disability, when present), in order to properly educate parents about prognosis for their child with autism.
