Autism and Medical Comorbidities / Manuel SCHIFF in Key Issues in Mental Health, 180 (2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inKey Issues in Mental Health > 180 (2015) . - p.20-33 Titre : Autism and Medical Comorbidities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Manuel SCHIFF, Auteur ; Miya R. ASATO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.20-33 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : AUT-B AUT-B - L'Autisme - Ouvrages généraux et scientifiques 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.

Neurodevelopment and executive function in autism / Kirsten O'HEARN in Development and Psychopathology, 20-4 (Fall 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 20-4 (Fall 2008) . - p.1103-1132 Titre : Neurodevelopment and executive function in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsten O'HEARN, Auteur ; Sarah ORDAZ, Auteur ; Beatriz LUNA, Auteur ; Miya R. ASATO, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1103-1132 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social and communication deficits, and repetitive behavior. Studies investigating the integrity of brain systems in autism suggest a wide range of gray and white matter abnormalities that are present early in life and change with development. These abnormalities predominantly affect association areas and undermine functional integration. Executive function, which has a protracted development into adolescence and reflects the integration of complex widely distributed brain function, is also affected in autism. Evidence from studies probing response inhibition and working memory indicate impairments in these core components of executive function, as well as compensatory mechanisms that permit normative function in autism. Studies also demonstrate age-related improvements in executive function from childhood to adolescence in autism, indicating the presence of plasticity and suggesting a prolonged window for effective treatment. Despite developmental gains, mature executive functioning is limited in autism, reflecting abnormalities in wide-spread brain networks that may lead to impaired processing of complex information across all domains.
