The Behavior Observation Scale is being developed to objectively differentiate autistic, normal, and mentally retarded children of ages 30 to 60 mo. Operational definitions and procedures are described and frequency data from 140 children are reported. Of 59 scale items 26 were significantly different among the subject groups. Further statistical analysis showed that to assess the diagnostic significance of a behavior both the frequency of occurrence per subject and the number of children exhibiting it must be considered concurrently. Methodological problems encountered when attempting to establish objective diagnostic data for the syndrome of autism are discussed.

Recent studies of mentally retarded children have found substantially higher rates of color blindness than are usually reported for the general population. In 2 of these studies, sex differences in color blindness, invariably found in intellectually normal children, do not appear. Reanalysis of data from one of the studies of retarded children suggests the possibility that the high rates arise from the difficulty in comprehending the test and following the directions rather than from faulty color vision. However, even if the number of color blind retarded children is actually lower than these studies show, the need for research on this topic seems apparent. Using color dependent instructional materials with color blind, mentally retarded children may be detrimental.
