| Résumé : |
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are at an increased risk for medical comorbidities which often remain undetected and negatively impact their developmental progress. These include gastrointestinal disorders, oral health problems, sleep disorders, and epilepsy. Greater awareness and treatment of these comorbidities are essential to improve the quality of life and sometimes ASD symptoms. While inborn errors of metabolism should not typically be considered a comorbidity in ASD, they should not be neglected as a possible etiology of ASD in some very rare situations of syndromic autism with associated features. |
