Titre : Brief Report: “Allergic Symptoms” in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. More than Meets the Eye? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Asimenia ANGELIDOU, Auteur ; Konstantinos-Dionysios ALYSANDRATOS, Auteur ; Shahrzad ASADI, Auteur ; Bodi ZHANG, Auteur ; Konstantinos FRANCIS, Auteur ; Magdalini VASIADI, Auteur ; Dimitrios KALOGEROMITROS, Auteur ; Theoharis THEOHARIDES, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1579-1585 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Allergy Autism Brain Food intolerance Inflammation Mast cells Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have either family and/or personal history of “allergic symptomatology”, often in the absence of positive skin or RAST tests. These symptoms may suggest mast cell activation by non-allergic triggers. Moreover, children with mastocytosis or mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), a spectrum of rare diseases characterized by increased number of activated mast cells in many organs, appear to have ASD at a rate tenfold higher (1/10 children) than that of the general population (1/100 children). Mast cell activation by allergic, infectious, environmental and stress-related triggers, especially perinatally, would release pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic molecules. We speculate these could disrupt the gut–blood–brain barriers, thus contributing to brain inflammation and ASD pathogenesis. Increased mast cell responsiveness may define at least a subgroup of ASD subjects, who could benefit from inhibition of mast cell activation.

Titre : The use of formal language as a strong sign of verbal autistic children in diglossic communities: The case of Arabic Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Konstantinos FRANCIS, Auteur ; Nasser ALSHAMMARI, Auteur ; Nailah ALSULAIHIM, Auteur ; Suja ABOUKHAMSEEN, Auteur ; Mohammad EL DARDIRI, Auteur ; Fawzeiah ALRASHIDI, Auteur ; Hashem Almutaz RIDHA, Auteur ; Mada AL-HASSAN, Auteur ; Arhonto TERZI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2579-2587 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD screening diglossia idiosyncratic language language acquisition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The current study aimed to investigate whether the use of formal language (Modern Standard Arabic [MSA]) by young children in diglossic Arab communities offers diagnostic insights, especially for verbal autistic children and to further explore this phenomenon. We used a cohort study design, with 4?6-year-old fluent first language Arabic-speaking children attending Arabic Kindergartens in two representative Kuwait governates. Reported cases for MSA use were assessed via a computer-based structured language test and corroborated cases were further assessed for exposure to sources of MSA, verbal IQ, temperamental characteristics, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Four children from the same class without developmental difficulties were selected for each MSA user as control group. The frequency of MSA use among verbal pre-schoolers was 0.46%. Use of MSA did not correlate with parents' education, amount of exposure to MSA, verbal IQ, but with severity of ASD. Predicted probability of ASD in the presence of MSA was 0.86. Executive functions of ASD-MSA users were similar to those of the control group and significantly higher than unselected autistic peers in the literature. The use of MSA has the potential to serve as a strong sign for the diagnosis of verbal autistic children, often missed or delayed in being diagnosed. We also discuss strategies via which language is acquired in ASD.
