Similarly, in a study looking only at the “classic autism” population, Orsmond et al. (2004) examined the social functioning of 235 adolescents and young adults aged ten to twenty-one years. These individuals were rated across four levels of peer relationships:

• Same-aged friend with whom s/he enjoyed varied, mutually responsive, and reciprocal activities outside of an organized setting. Just over 8 percent had at least one friendship like this.

• Relationship involving some activities outside of a prearranged setting: 20.9 percent

• Relationships only in prearranged settings: 24.3 percent

• No peer relationships: 46.4 percent
