Abstract
A pair of monozygotic twins concordant for early infantile autism is described. Both twins had low birth weight and postnatal cyanosis. They also suffered from epilepsy. The second twin had a lower birth weight and had to be kept in an incubator for 18 days. The twins' older brother had a history of speech delay. It seems that both genetic inheritance and brain damage were the main etiological factors for autism in both twins. Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 24, 5:643–646, 1985.
