2 Abstract We conducted a 12-year prospective study of children with pervasive development disorders from North Dakota. In a prospective longitudinal follow-up study, of 59 patients, we found 52 patients with pervasive developmental disorders (88%). Ten (17%) declined to participate. We collected data on 42 (71%) of the original cohort. Of the 42 subjects, 1 died (1.7%). The other 41 were followed up for 492 person-years. (J Child Neurol 2002; 17:681-688)

3 North Dakota Autism Follow-Up Project The purpose of the project was to conduct a prospective follow-up on the cohort of children identified in the North Dakota prevalence study of autism and pervasive developmental disorders.
