Titre : Association of Rigid-Compulsive Behavior with Functional Constipation in Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah MARLER, Auteur ; Bradley J. FERGUSON, Auteur ; Evon BATEY LEE, Auteur ; Brittany PETERS, Auteur ; Kent C. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Erin MCDONNELL, Auteur ; Eric A. MACKLIN, Auteur ; Pat LEVITT, Auteur ; Kara GROSS MARGOLIS, Auteur ; David Q. BEVERSDORF, Auteur ; Jeremy VEENSTRA-VANDERWEELE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1673-1681 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental Gut Enteric Medical comorbidity Obsessive compulsive disorder Serotonin Microbiome Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Based upon checklist data from the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network, we hypothesized that functional constipation (FC) would be associated with rigid-compulsive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We used the Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms—Rome III to assess FC symptoms in 108 children with ASD. As hypothesized, FC was associated with parent ratings on the Repetitive Behavior Scales—Revised (RBS-R) Compulsive, Ritualistic, and Sameness subscales in the overall population. Of note, FC was less common in children who were not taking medications that target behavior or treat FC. In the medication-free children, rigid-compulsive behavior was not significantly associated with FC. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these associations.

Titre : Brief Report: Whole Blood Serotonin Levels and Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah MARLER, Auteur ; Bradley J.

BEVERSDORF, Auteur ; Jeremy VEENSTRA-VANDERWEELE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1124-1130 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Serotonin 5-HT Gastrointestinal (GI) IL-6 Medical comorbidities Autism Treatment Network Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Elevated whole blood serotonin levels are observed in more than 25 % of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Co-occurring gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are also common in ASD but have not previously been examined in relationship with hyperserotonemia, despite the synthesis of serotonin in the gut. In 82 children and adolescents with ASD, we observed a correlation between a quantitative measure of lower GI symptoms and whole blood serotonin levels. No significant association was seen between functional constipation diagnosis and serotonin levels in the hyperserotonemia range, suggesting that this correlation is not driven by a single subgroup. More specific assessment of gut function, including the microbiome, will be necessary to evaluate the contribution of gut physiology to serotonin levels in ASD.

BEVERSDORF, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.276-288 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder gastrointestinal autonomic nervous system sympathetic parasympathetic anxiety constipation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often accompanied by gastrointestinal disturbances, which also may impact behavior. Alterations in autonomic nervous system functioning are also frequently observed in ASD. The relationship between these findings in ASD is not known. We examined the relationship between gastrointestinal symptomatology, examining upper and lower gastrointestinal tract symptomatology separately, and autonomic nervous system functioning, as assessed by heart rate variability and skin conductance level, in a sample of 120 individuals with ASD. Relationships with co-occurring medical and psychiatric symptoms were also examined. While the number of participants with significant upper gastrointestinal tract problems was small in this sample, 42.5% of participants met criteria for functional constipation, a disorder of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Heart rate variability, a measure of parasympathetic modulation of cardiac activity, was found to be positively associated with lower gastrointestinal tract symptomatology at baseline. This relationship was particularly strong for participants with co-occurring diagnoses of anxiety disorder and for those with a history of regressive ASD or loss of previously acquired skills. These findings suggest that autonomic function and gastrointestinal problems are intertwined in children with ASD; although it is not possible to assess causality in this data set. Future work should examine the impact of treatment of gastrointestinal problems on autonomic function and anxiety, as well as the impact of anxiety treatment on gastrointestinal problems. Clinicians should be aware that gastrointestinal problems, anxiety, and autonomic dysfunction may cluster in children with ASD and should be addressed in a multidisciplinary treatment plan.
