The Psychomotor Profile in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Clinical Assessments and Implications for Therapy / Magda DI RENZO in Autism - Open Access, 7-3 ([01/06/2017])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 7-3 [01/06/2017] . - 8 p. Titre : The Psychomotor Profile in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Clinical Assessments and Implications for Therapy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Magda DI RENZO, Auteur ; Federico BIANCHI DI CASTELBIANCO, Auteur ; Elena VANADIA, Auteur ; Lidia RACINARO, Auteur ; Monica REA, Auteur Article en page(s) : 8 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Body relationship  Psychomotor profiles  ADOS  Leiter-R Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a class of neurodevelopmental disorders defined by qualitative impairments in social functioning and communication, often accompanied by repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviour’s and interests, with their typical onset during the first three years of life. Recent researches demonstrate that early diagnosis and intervention sensibly improve outcomes. Until now, a limit of the most common therapies has been to get poor results in approaching the relational and emotional difficulties that, finding their origin in the early interactions that the child has with the outside world, must take account of the body as first experiential and communicative channel for the new-born. Although the current assessment protocols provide for development scales and observation of motor skills, do not yet exist studies aimed at identifying characteristic psychomotor profiles and too little attention is paid to bodily dimension in therapeutic terms. The purpose of present paper is to examine the psychomotor profiles of 61 children diagnosed with ASD, analyse their specifies and correlations with symptoms and cognitive development. Results show that children with more severe impairment have greater troubles in modulating their body, in attention, in spatial organization, in symbolic play, in motor behaviour’s, starting from imitation, and in communication, even from the most archaic mode, namely the tonic dialogue. Findings, supported by what has already been published on the effectiveness of early developmental-relationship-bodily based approach with ASD children, support the idea that psychomotor area should represent an essential element in childhood rehabilitative therapies, especially in autism, where it is necessary to start from body and experience intended as a solid foundation on which build cognitive and social skills.

Findings demonstrated that the intervention was effective for improving the target behaviors of two of the three participants. Independent mands generalized and were maintained, both short and long term, for two participants. Greetings generalized and were maintained in the short-term for one participant. Social validity results indicated that the raters viewed the intervention as beneficial for improving mands and greetings to peers.

Epilepsy and EEG Findings in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Nashwa M. SAMRA in Autism - Open Access, 7-3 ([01/06/2017])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 7-3 [01/06/2017] . - 6 p. Titre : Epilepsy and EEG Findings in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nashwa M. SAMRA, Auteur ; Hadeer M. ABDEL GHAFFAR, Auteur ; Heba A. EL-AWADY, Auteur ; Mohamed R. SOLTAN, Auteur ; Rabab M. ABDEL MOKTADER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 6 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Epilepsy  EEG  Autism spectrum disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Epilepsy is strongly associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This high rate of epilepsy suggests that ASD and epilepsy might share a common pathophysiological basis. Objective: To study the characteristics of EEG findings and epilepsy in autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and the associated neuropsychological symptoms. Methods: Sixty children with ASD, aged from 3 to 11 years old, were included in the study. EEG recordings were obtained for each child. All patients were evaluated with respect to clinical and familial characteristics and with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS).Results: The frequency of epileptiform EEG abnormalities in children with ASD was 40%, and the frequency of epilepsy was 30%. EEG abnormalities were associated with a diagnosis of epilepsy in 13.3%. Seizures and EEG changes were frequent among children with severe autism. Aggressive behaviours, hyperactivity and delayed developmental history were more frequent among patients with seizures. Sleep disturbance and hyperactivity were more common among participants with sever autism. On the other hand, aggressive behaviour and developmental delay were more common among patients with mild to moderate autism. Conclusion: Autism is one of the risk factors for epilepsy. Epilepsy occurs in one-third of patients with ASD. EEG abnormalities occur in 40% of patients with ASD. Epilepsy may be considered as one of the aggravating factors for behavioural/emotional outcomes for individuals with autism. Treatment of EEG changes might have a positive effect on the symptomatic improvement of children with ASD and EEGs changes.
