Popis: Blood samples and temperature measurements were taken over a 24-hr period for 6 children with autistic features and 3 normal control children of approximately the same age. The normal children showed relatively adult diurnal rhythmicity in cortisol and temperature. In contrast, 4 of 6 autistic children showed abnormal patterns in both measures.
