Abstract

Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) is a rare pervasive developmental disorder that involves regression after a period of at least 2 years of typical development. This case study presents data from family home movies, coded by reliable raters using an objective coding system, to examine the trajectory of development in one child with a reported regression at 48 months of age. Coding substantiated parent reports of mostly typical early development, followed by later catastrophic loss of skills across many developmental domains. Differential diagnosis of CDD and autism with regression is discussed.

The following modifications were made to the coding system of Werner et al. (2005): (1) only gaze to faces was coded from their “gaze at people” code, (2) only pointing was coded from their “gesture/joint attention” code, and (3) their “repetitive motor with and without objects” code was expanded to include unusual visual inspection of objects.

The Mullen was administered, although it was not appropriate for Nicholas’ chronological age, because he was unable to complete the routing items of the Stanford-Binet and other intellectual tests were not appropriate for his functioning level. For this reason, Mullen standard scores could not be calculated and only age equivalents are reported
