Five hundred six severe and profoundly mentally retarded persons (247 women and 259 men) from Wisconsin and Louisiana were assessed on the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped Scale. A factor analysis yielded six factor scales: tantrums, aggression/conduct, language disorder/verbal aggression, social withdrawal/stereotypy, eating disorders, and sleep disorders. These data demonstrate a nosology of symptoms loading more heavily on vegetative symptoms than what is evident with persons in the mild and moderate ranges of mental retardation and persons who are not mentally retarded. The implications of these findings are discussed.
