Body Mass Index in Male and Female Children with Infantile Autism / Svend Erik MOURIDSEN in Autism, 6-2 (March 2002)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 6-2 (March 2002) . - p.197-205 Titre : Body Mass Index in Male and Female Children with Infantile Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Svend Erik MOURIDSEN, Auteur ; Bente RICH, Auteur ; Torben ISAGER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.197-205 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Morphometry, the measurement of forms, is an ancient practice. Recently, evidence has grown to support the notion that aberrant neurodevelopment may play a role in the pathophysiology of autism. Is the body, like the brain, affected by abnormal development in these patients? The aim of this study was to evaluate body mass index (BMI) of children with infantile autism, by comparing the BMI of 117 children with infantile autism with the corresponding BMI percentiles in an age- and sex-matched reference population. The BMI distribution of the male, but not female, children with infantile autism was significantly lower than that of the age-matched reference population. There was no evidence that BMI was associated with intelligence or socioeconomic status among children with infantile autism.

Current status of research on autism spectrum disorders and offending / Svend Erik MOURIDSEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.79-86 Titre : Current status of research on autism spectrum disorders and offending Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Svend Erik MOURIDSEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.79-86 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Offending  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An emerging literature on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and offending has highlighted that these disorders are at times associated with criminal behaviour. Ghaziuddin et al., 1991 M. Ghaziuddin, L. Tsai and N. Ghaziuddin, Violence in Asperger syndrome. A critique. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 21 (1991), pp. 349–354. Ghaziuddin et al. (1991) reviewed the published literature on this topic from 1944 to 1990 and concluded that there was no clear link between Asperger syndrome (AS) and violent crime. They suggested that people with AS hardly were more likely to commit violent crime than the rest of the population. The present review provides an update on the issues in the earlier review mentioned and presents new issues that have emerged in the past two decades. Currently, there is still no body of evidence to suppose that people with ASD are more prone to commit offences than anyone else. However, a small number of serious crimes can be linked to the core features of ASD. Co-morbid psychiatric disorders are important risk factors for offending in people with ASD. Studies of referred samples have suggested considerable differences in offending among subgroups of people with ASD. Offending has rarely been reported in childhood autism, but is more common in atypical autism (AA) and AS. Literature suggests that people with ASD are potentially overrepresented within the criminal justice system, and that failure to detect ASD among offenders is not uncommon. Insofar as people with AA and AS have offended, it has typically been connected with arson and sexual abuse. But due to lack of valid community based studies of offending relating to people with ASD, these findings must be interpreted with caution.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in individuals diagnosed as children with atypical autism: A Danish register study based on hospital diagnoses / Svend Erik MOURIDSEN in Autism, 17-1 (January 2013)

All participants were screened through the nationwide Danish National Hospital Register. The average observation time was 32.9 years, and mean age at the end of the observation period was 48.5 years. Among the 89 cases with atypical autism, a total of 22 (24.7%) were registered with at least one diagnosis of any disease of the gastrointestinal tract, against 47 of 258 (18.2%) in the comparison group (p = 0.22; odds ratio = 1.5; 95% confidence interval = 0.8–2.6). Without reaching statistical significance, the rate of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract was particularly high (odds ratio = 1.2) in those with intelligence quotient 70. Overall, people with atypical autism had about the same frequency of gastric, intestinal and hepatic diseases as had controls.

All 4,180 identified cases with AS (3,431 males and 749 females) were screened through the nationwide Danish National Hospital Register (DNHR) with respect to epilepsy. Mean age at follow-up was 18.1 years (range 4–31 years). Of the 4,180 individuals with AS, 164 (3.9 %) were registered with at least one epilepsy diagnosis in the DNHR, which is significantly increased (p 0.0001) relative to the same age group in the general population, where an estimate is about 2.0 %.

The average observation time was 30.3 years (range 27.3–30.4 years), and mean age at follow-up was 42.7 years (range 27.3–57.3 years). Of the 118 individuals with IA, 14 (11.9%) were registered with at least one fracture diagnosis against 83 (24.7%) in the comparison group ( p = 0.004; OR = 0.41; 95%CI 0.22–0.76), but the nature of their fractures seems somewhat different. Epilepsy was a risk factor, but only in the comparison group. Our results lend no support to the notion that fracture is a common comorbid condition in a population of people diagnosed with IA as children.
