| Abstract |
Phenylketonuria (PKU) has been also reported in children with infantile autism (IA); however, the frequency of this association is variably reported. Patients with various forms of hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) were evaluated applying two methods: the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). A total of 243 patients were investigated, 97 with classical PKU, 62 identified by neonatal screening, and 35 late diagnosed. None out of 62 patients with classic PKU diagnosed early met criteria for autism. In the group of 35 patients diagnosed late, two boys (5.71%) ages 16 and 13 years fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for autism. The present study confirms that classical PKU is one of the causes of autism, but the prevalence seems to be very low. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 24. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 January 2016.
All research outputs
#1,568,242
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#611
of 5,454 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,618
of 63,302 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,454 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 63,302 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
