Autism: Current Theories and EvidenceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders are frustrated by the healthcare professional's inability to tell them what caused their child's disease, and are desperate to find a “cure” that will allow their children to live independently, to have friends, and to communicate effectively. Too often, these parents are willing to pay thousands of dollars for unproven “therapies” that offer no evidence in support of their use, and that may even be dangerous. (Source: Pediatric Neurology)

Chromosomal Microarray Interpretation: What Is a Child Neurologist to Do?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The chromosomal microarray now plays a central role in the evaluation of children with neurologic developmental disorders, including global developmental delay, mental retardation, and increasingly also autistic spectrum disorders. As arrays become more sophisticated and their use more widespread, the child neurologist is likely to encounter abnormal chromosomal microarray results. The interpretation of such data is not always straightforward. This review article discusses in a practical manner the nature of chromosomal microarray results, describes an algorithm to help the child neurologist navigate a variety of testing s...

Although temporal processing has received little attention in the autism literature, there are a number of reasons to suspect that people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have particular difficulties judging the passage of time. The present study tested a group of 20 high-functioning adults with ASD and 20 matched comparison participants on a temporal reproduction task. The ASD group made reproductions that were significantly further from the base durations than did the comparison group. They were also more variable in their responses. Furthermore the ASD group showed particular difficulties as the base duration...

Abstract Misregulation of the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene has been found to cause a myriad of neurological disorders including autism, mental retardation, seizures, learning disabilities, and Rett syndrome. We hypothesized that mutations in other members of the methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) family may also cause autistic features in individuals. We evaluated 226 autistic individuals for alterations in the four genes most homologous to MECP2: MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4. A total of 46 alterations were identified in the four genes, including ten missense changes and two deletions that alter codi...

Abstract The ability to understand speakers' intentions is examined for typically developing children (TDC), children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Four types of spoken phrases, expressing praise, sarcasm, blame, and banter, were presented, and subjects were asked to judge if the speaker praises you or not, or if she blames you or not. The children could correctly judge the speaker's intention for congruent phrases such as praise and blame. TDC younger than 8 years had significantly lower correct percent compared to the TDC older than them for t...

Play and social abilities of a group of children diagnosed with high functioning autism were compared to a second group diagnosed with a variety of developmental language disorders (DLD). The children with autism engaged in fewer acts of high level play. The children with autism also had significantly lower social functioning than the DLD group early in the play session; however, these differences were no longer apparent by the end of the play session. In addition, a significant association existed between play and social functioning regardless of diagnosis. This suggests that play may act as a current indicator of soc...

TS patients also suffer from multi-organ dysfunction that includes neurological disorder such as autism and mental retardation reflecting the wide tissue distribution of Ca(V)1.2 channel. Mutation...

Their own facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language may not match what they are saying, making it difficult for others to respond appropriately. Such barriers to communication can isolate children with ASD from their peers. (Source: National Institute of Mental Health)
