    • Abstract:
      Symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are present in children with mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPS III). Questionnaires measuring the two core domains of ASD (social responsiveness and repetitive behaviour) were completed by N = 17 parents of children with MPS III. Results indicated that scores consistent with ASD were reported by all parents on a measure of social responsiveness but lower scores were reported for repetitive behaviour. The findings provide support for the provision of additional interventions, focusing on social and communication difficulties, for children with MPS III across all phases of their disorder.
