as small as a world and as large as alone

Catatonia in Autistic Spectrum Disorders by Lorna Wing and Amitta Shah, 2000.  The paper that got me diagnosed, and it’s available online right here:

There’s also a bunch of scholarly articles on autistic catatonia that are harder to access.

Then there’s two books by the same authors on the same subject, that get into the topic of catatonia and autism:

Movement Differences and Diversity in Autism/Mental Retardation by Martha Leary and Anne Donnellan

Autism: Sensory-Movement Differences and Diversity by Martha Leary and Anne Donnellan

http://www.amazon.com/Autism-Sensory-Movement-Differences-Martha-Leary/dp/0966037685

I’m in the middle of a power outage and don’t have much wifi left so I’m going to stop now, but those are the main things I’d read if I were you.  The first one is an introduction to autistic catatonia, the movement disorder.  The second two deal with movement among other things, and discuss the relationship between catatonia and autism even in people who don’t have the catatonia progressively get worse.
