Abstract
This study examined relationships between ages of children with SM and their parent-reported behaviors on the BASC-3-PRS. Results indicated age variations in clinical presentations: younger age was more associated with withdrawal, difficulties with adaptation, and functional communication, while older age was associated with attentional problems, social disorders, and functional impairment.
