DANIELS, Auteur ; Ariel COMO, Auteur ; Sabri HERGUNER, Auteur ; Krasimira KOSTADINOVA, Auteur ; Jasmina STOSIC, Auteur ; Andy SHIH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2314-2325 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Southeast  Europe  Caregivers  Diagnosis  Services  Stigma Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to understand the diagnostic, service and lived experiences of families affected by ASD in Southeast Europe. A total of 758 caregivers from Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Turkey were surveyed from 2013 to 2015 about characteristics of the child with ASD; service encounters; and caregiver perceptions. The average age at first concern was 24.4 months (SD 11.8) and at diagnosis, 40.0 months (SD 19.0). Psychiatrists were the most common diagnostician; most children received some ASD-related service, most frequently speech and language therapy. Caregivers endorsed challenges in access to care and perceived stigma. Despite country differences, findings relative to age at first concern, disparities in access and service utilization, and stigma speak to common regional needs.

Autistic traits in women with polycystic ovary syndrome / Sabri HERGUNER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-3 (July-September 2012) . - p.1019-1022 Titre : Autistic traits in women with polycystic ovary syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sabri HERGUNER, Auteur ; Hatice HARMANCI, Auteur ; Arzu HERGUNER, Auteur ; Harun TOY, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1019-1022 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Polycystic ovary syndrome  Prenatal androgen  Autism spectrum conditions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Several studies suggested that prenatal androgen exposure might contribute to development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The androgen theory of autism proposes that autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are in part due to elevated fetal testosterone levels. Furthermore, higher rates of androgen-related conditions including PCOS are reported in women with ASC. In this study, we aimed to measure the autistic traits in women with PCOS. Forty females who had a diagnosis of PCOS were recruited for the study group. For comparison, 40 healthy age – and Body Mass Index (BMI) – matched women who had regular menses were included. All participants completed the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). There were no significant differences in age, education, and BMI between groups. Total AQ and communication scores were statistically higher in females with PCOS. Although social skills, imagination, attention to detail and attention switching scores were higher in women with PCOS, these did not reach significance. This study showed that autistic traits were higher in women with PCOS than healthy controls which supports that prenatal exposure to high levels of androgen may be involved in development of ASC.
