Characteristics Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder Risk in Individuals with Down Syndrome.
We examined autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk in a large national sample of 203 individuals with Down syndrome, 6-25 years old, to determine the association of ASD risk with age, sex, IQ, adaptive behaviors, and maladaptive behaviors. We used a two-pronged approach by (1) considering ASD symptomatology continuously across the sample of individuals with DS and examining associations with each characteristic, and (2) dichotomizing our sample into high and low ASD risk groups and comparing groups on each characteristic. The pattern of results was largely similar across both types of analyses. ASD symptomatology/risk was ne...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 5521: Prospective Associations of Physical Activity and Health-Related Physical Fitness in Adolescents with Down Syndrome: The UP & amp;DOWN Longitudinal Study
Conclusions: In adolescents with DS, (i) PA level was not prospectively associated with muscular fitness and (ii) high levels of total PA at the baseline were inversely associated with motor and cardiorespiratory fitness at the 2-year follow-up. For comparative purposes, these relationships were also examined in a subsample of adolescents without DS.

Dietary aspects related to health and obesity in Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, and Prader-Willi syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Persons with WS had a less-favorable dietary pattern when compared to persons with PWS. A larger proportion of persons living in communities frequently consumed precooked meals and showed a tendency of high-frequency soft drink consumption. Otherwise, their intake frequencies of the investigated foods were similar to those living with relatives, but they participated more frequently in decisions and preparations of foods.

Down's syndrome with abnormal inner ear: Is it suitable for cochlear implantation?
We report a case of a 4 years and 5 months old child with DS and low Intelligence Quotient that had been referred to our centre for cochlear implants. In view of late referral and multiple additional handicaps, with addition of having Larged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome (LVAS), bilateral incomplete partition of cochlear Type II and abnormal periventricular white matter, she had been rejected for cochlear implantation.

Rethinking the concepts of ‘local or global processors’: evidence from Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorders
Abstract Both Williams syndrome (WS) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been characterized as preferentially processing local information, whereas in Down syndrome (DS) the reported tendency is to process stimuli globally. We designed a cross‐syndrome, cross‐task comparison to reveal similarities and differences in local/global processing in these disorders. Our in‐depth study compared local/global processing across modalities (auditory‐verbal/visuo‐spatial) and levels of processing (high/low) in the three syndromes. Despite claims in the literature, participants with ASD or WS failed to show a consistent lo...

After 10 Years of Raising Children with Down syndrome
When my first child was born, and after confirming his diagnosis of Down syndrome, many people told me that parents of kids with Down syndrome were chosen by God to take care of His most special angels.  That is one of many other prejudices. To listen that your child may be an angel or is a "special child" is easier to digest than to hear people talking of him in rough or sarcastic terms.  However, they are both prejudices, and both should be abolished at the time of referring to people with disabilities....Read Full Post
