Outcomes for Adolescents and young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: General Social Functioning / Ahmed AL ANSARI in Autism - Open Access, 6-4 ([01/07/2016])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 6-4 [01/07/2016] . - 5 p. Titre : Outcomes for Adolescents and young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: General Social Functioning Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ahmed AL ANSARI, Auteur ; Haitham JAHRAMI, Auteur ; Mohd NEDHAM, Auteur ; Maisa AL KHUNAIZI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 5 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Adolescence  Young adult  Outcome  Social  Bahrain Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Earlier reports from different parts of the world reported fair to poor outcome of ASD in adolescence and young adult life. Method: Eighty children diagnosed as ASD from a public clinic and a day care centre for adolescent made the study sample. 59, (73%) of sample’s mothers were contacted by telephone 10-15 year after diagnoses to assess their children general social functioning and behaviour. Children were not seen or examined. Results: Sample mean age was 17.3 year–St Dev. 4.8 year, and mean age at diagnosis was 3.2 year. Male, female ratio was 4:1. Almost all attended day care programs for ASD and 10% are in regular school. A quarter of cases had friends and all were living with their families. None are married or hold a regular job. Researcher scored more small gains while mothers reported more substantial gains. Discussion and conclusion: 10-15 year outcome of children with ASD showed mixed results. Parents reported considerable benefits in social adjustment in half of the sample in comparison in quarter by independent researcher. Reasons for such difference were discussed. In future, we need to expand the follow up duration and use measurable parameters to assess benefits.

T.U.L.I.P. Protocol (TCE, UOI, Leiter-R as Indicators of Predictivity) for the Assessment of the Developmental Potential in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Magda DI RENZO in Autism - Open Access, 6-4 ([01/07/2016])

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Emotional contagion  Understanding of intention  Leiter  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The article aims to highlight some predictive indicators of improvement in ADOS scores in a group of 49 children with Autism Spectrum Disorders For this purpose we created a specific protocol named T.U.L.I.P. that, using the Fluid Reasoning of the Leiter-R, the presence of Emotional Contagion (TCE) and the ability to understand the intentions of the others (UOI) as predictive indicators, can identify a category of autistic children who positively respond to treatment and improves the autistic symptomatology. The children who at the intake had predictive indicators of Emerging or Present UOI and TCE improved their autistic symptomatology with therapy and some of them (those with Present indicators) positively changed their ADOS diagnosis. In pre-school children, or in the first year of their schooling, the assessment of cognitive and social components shows that relational skills have a greater importance in predicting the decrease of the ADOS scores. The presence of predictive indicators, especially on the emotional response and the ability to understand the intentions of the others, also helps to work through a developmental- relational approach that activates in children their existing potentialities to get improvements even in the cognitive functioning. The Social Affection component of the Ados correlates with predictive indicators and accounts for an intervention targeted to the emotional dimension.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autistic Children and Oral Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation Treatment / Elham MOUSAVINEJAD in Autism - Open Access, 6-4 ([01/07/2016])

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum of disorders  Children  Mitochondrial dysfunction  Coenzyme Q10 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This review was conducted in order to determine the effect of Oral Coenzyme Q10 supplement on children diagnosed with Autism spectrum of disorders. Among the most common treatments used for autistic spectrum disorders, vitamin/mineral supplements are considered to be the most common treatments. An oral vitamin/mineral supplementation has benefits in improving the nutritional and metabolic status of children with ASD; these include the improvement of oxidative stress, inflammation, but research on using these supplements for treating CoenzymeQ10 supplement on autistic children has been limited. Mitochondrial dysfunctions occur in a subset of ASD. Different cases usually occur due to genetic anomalies or mitochondrial respiratory pathway abnormalities. In addition, they have also been associated with different behaviours in children. There have been many studies that reveal evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) in children with ASD. Various drugs of either synthetic or natural origin applied in the treatment of brain disorders need to cross the BBB before they can be used in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism, and many other chronic illnesses. This review suggests that a Coenzyme Q10 supplement is a reasonable MtD therapy to consider for most children diagnosed with Autism.

Autism, Chemicals, Probable Cause and Mitigation: A New Examination / Keith SCHOFIELD in Autism - Open Access, 6-4 ([01/07/2016])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 6-4 [01/07/2016] . - 27 p. Titre : Autism, Chemicals, Probable Cause and Mitigation: A New Examination Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Keith SCHOFIELD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 27 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Triggered growth  Neurotoxins  Body-burden  Blood testing  Selenium importance  Multisource roles Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This extensive overview has addressed in a scientific manner the probable cause of autism. Although seemingly an impossible task, an important clue has always been autism’s triggered growth from the late 90s. This triggering eliminated genetics as a major cause and redirected it to changes in the anthropogenic environment. Global availability for ingestion by women of child-bearing years of all neurotoxic chemicals has been reviewed and potential changes examined. Surprisingly, these simple criteria eliminate almost everything except the neurotoxic metal elements. These are all present in recent blood analyses of pregnant women and also in the fetal cord with some at risk level concentrations. However, the two predominant neurotoxic elements that clearly stand out are Al and Hg. Furthermore, isotopically labeled experiments on animals coupled to fetal autopsies indicate that these in the forms of Al3+, HgCH3+ and HgC2H5+ can penetrate the usually tight blood/brain barrier and enter the brain with now known half-lives. Normally, these elements are controlled and neutralized by brain seleno-cysteine proteins. However, an overloading burden has become plausible in current times and even a temporary failure leaves the fetal brain vulnerable. For the first time, the burden is seen to arise not from a single source, but from the combination of medicine and diet. If these neurological illnesses are to be controlled, the body-burden for these and all the other toxins that the body has to constantly manage has to be reduced. To begin with, this will have to involve modifying currently high inoculation rates and procedures particularly in the US, and minimizing risks from consuming fish especially in a Japanese sushi life-style. This is not only of importance for women of child-bearing ages but for the whole population considering the consequences of such body burdens throughout life.

Difficulties with the understanding and expression of prosody may be one reason. In this study an understanding of prosody test and an expression of prosody test were constructed and applied to a group of children with ASD (average 9.7 years of age) and three control groups of typical children (3, 4 and 5 years of age, respectively). Overall results showed that the ASD group had lower scores in both prosody tests compared to 5 year old controls but higher scores than the 3 year old controls.
