Statistically significant higher plasma concentration of IgA antibodies against alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, casein, and gliadin were found in the children with autistic disorder. Plasma concentrations of IgG antibodies against alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, and casein in participants with autistic disorder were significantly higher. IgE-specific antibodies (alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, casein, and gluten), as well as plasma concentration of total IgE, also were statistically significantly higher in the participants with autistic disorder. Gender differences were found for select IgA, IgG, and IgE (but not for total IgE) food-specific antibodies (kU/L) in the participants with autistic disorder and their siblings.

A Pilot Study of a Behavioral Parent Training in the Republic of Macedonia / Blake D. HANSEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-6 (June 2017)

Parent training led by non-governmental organizations may help alleviate some of these burdens. The present pilot study was conducted in the Republic of Macedonia, a country located in Southeastern Europe. The purpose of the study was to evaluate a parent training model for disseminating evidence-based practices through didactic and pyramidal training strategies. Results indicated that children improved on a number of different behaviors and results provide some evidence that parenting confidence and distress improved.

The utilization of psychopharmacological treatments for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a middle-income European country / Anirban CHATTERJEE ; Yasir Ahmed SYED ; Vladimir TRAJKOVSKI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 111 (March 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 111 (March 2024) . - p.102329 Titre : The utilization of psychopharmacological treatments for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a middle-income European country Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anirban CHATTERJEE, Auteur ; Yasir Ahmed SYED, Auteur ; Vladimir TRAJKOVSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102329 Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Psychopharmacological treatment  Psychotropic medication  Low- and middle-income country  Europe Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies examining the utilization of psychopharmacological treatments (psychotropic medications) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have primarily been carried out in affluent nations. Nonetheless, there is an evident dearth of data originating from low- and middle-income countries. Our study sought to comprehensively evaluate the usage of psychopharmacological treatments and the effectiveness of those treatments as perceived by the parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Macedonia, a middle-income country in South-Eastern Europe. Methods We conducted a survey involving 103 parents of individuals with ASD and analyzed the questionnaire responses using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. Results Our research uncovered that 62% of individuals diagnosed with ASD were prescribed psychopharmacological treatments, yet only 48% actually utilized them. Among the medications prescribed, antipsychotics (55%) and antiepileptics (44%) were the most common, with risperidone and valproate being the preferred options. Psychopharmacological treatments were found to be more commonly used among individuals aged 15 years and above, with children under 8 years closely following suit at a rate of 56%. Furthermore, we discovered a noteworthy association between the severity of ASD symptoms and the utilization of these interventions. Intriguingly, the majority of parents (73%) regarded the effectiveness of psychopharmacological treatments as only partially effective. Conclusion Our study emphasizes the prevalent utilization of psychotropic medication, especially among young individuals, and underscores the necessity for enhanced dissemination of information to parents regarding prescribed medications. By integrating our research findings, medical professionals and policymakers can enhance the strategies and initiatives used to improve the quality of care and support for individuals on the autism spectrum.
