INTRODUCTION: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition which traditional assessment procedures encounter certain limitations. The current ASD research field is exploring and endorsing innovative methods to assess the disorder early on, based on the automatic detection of biomarkers. However, many of these procedures lack ecological validity in their measurements. In this context, virtual reality (VR) shows promise for objectively recording biosignals while users experience ecological situations...

With the upsurge of community uptake in population-based early screening for autism, the main obstacle to increasing access to early treatment and intervention services is the extremely limited access to high quality diagnosis, specifically the shortage of expert clinicians. Diagnostic evaluation models deployed by academic centers of excellence, which typically require the investment of 6-10 hours by specialized multidisciplinary teams, is not a viable solution to the vast needs of communities, resulting in parents' "diagnostic odysseys" and delays, often of several years, for treatment, interventions and supports...

Autism is a neurobiologically based neurodevelopmental disorder with high prevalence and a clear predominance in males. It is characterized by deficits in social cognition and communication, restricted interests, and stereotyped behaviors, frequently associated with sensory dysfunction others neurodevelopmental conditions, neuropsychiatric disorders, epilepsy, and/or sleep disorders. This condition will accompany people throughout their lives, which will generate various support and treatment needs. People with autism often need to "fit in" and for this they use techniques such as camouflage, also called masking...

The Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurobiological based disorder with a high percentage of heritability and a wide list of possible etiologies that presents very heterogeneous changes in neuronal architecture, connectivity and synaptogenesis with characteristic clinical manifestations whose origin points to environmental, immunological, genetic and other causes, without having been confirmed specific biomarkers. Diagnosis continues to be based on typical features including repetitive behaviors and impaired communication and social interaction...

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between maternal and paternal licit and illicit drug use, smoking and drinking and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We conducted a case-control study with children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD and neurotypical individuals. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire administered during interviews with the children's mothers or guardians. The following variables were analyzed: child sex and age; maternal and parental age; use of medicines before and during pregnancy; classes of medicines used during pregnancy; maternal and paternal smoking; maternal and paternal drinking; maternal and paternal illicit drug use...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has varied characteristics with an impact at the social, communicative and sensorimotor (SM) level. An SM feature is postural control (PC) problems. There are various motor intervention strategies (MIS), but the benefit over LC is something that has been analyzed less extensively. The objective was to describe the MIS and its results on the PC of children and adolescents with ASD. A search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane was performed. A total of eight articles met the eligibility criteria...

PURPOSE: monitor the development of pragmatic skills in children with clinical risk indicators for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) before and after the application of an integrated parental guidance protocol. METHODS: Seven families who had children with clinical risk indicators for autism spectrum disorder and were in the diagnostic process participated in this study. The study was divided into three moments: (1) structured interview with parents and assessment of children's pragmatic skills, (2) virtual sessions with guidance to parents related to the characteristics of the condition and skills that can be developed to favor their development, and (3) reassessment of children's pragmatic skills...

El diagnóstico diferencial entre el autismo y la esquizofrenia en la infancia ha sido motivo de numerosas controversias. Debido a que las alucinaciones verbales podrían ser uno de los fenómenos clínicos principales al momento de establecer un diagnóstico diferencial, se propuso como objetivo indagar sobre la presencia o ausencia de alucinaciones verbales en el autismo. Para ello se realizó una revisión selectiva y asistemática de la evidencia científica actual. Sumado a esto se conceptualizó el fenómeno de la alucinación, y principalmente la alucinación verbal, desde una perspectiva histórica; se abordó la relevancia otorgada a las alucinaciones en la delimitación de los constructos nosográficos mencionados; y se analizó las alucinaciones verbales en el autismo comparando distintos paradigmas, incluyendo aportes del psicoanálisis...

INTRODUCTION: A high prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms has been described in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In addition, there is evidence that presence of GI symptoms is associated to greater severity of ASD. However, the frequency of GI symptoms in children and adolescents with ASD varies widely across studies, and their true prevalence is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of GI symptoms in children and adolescents with ASD...

The influence of parental stress and the moderating effect of coping strategies and social support in children with autism is well documented. The number of works with a cross-sectional design contrasts with the scarcity of studies with a longitudinal design that would allow to deepen in the relationships between characteristics of the family context and the evolution of the disorder. The present follow-up study is devoted to the analysis of these relationships over time from childhood (T1) to adolescence (T2), also assessing the results in different developmental domains...

Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disease, caused by an autosomal dominant mutation due to the terminal deletion of 22q13, leading to a defect in the SHANK3 protein. We present the clinical case of a 12-year-old patient with this syndrome, who underwent three interventions that required general anesthesia. In none of them did she present intraoperative or postoperative complications.

The prevalence of autism spectrum conditions has been increasing in recent decades. However, this has not been reflected in an increase in clinical research, so there is insufficient evidence on the supports and adaptations that psychological treatments require for this population. Evidence-based psychological therapies are frequently goal-focused, usually short-term, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which integrates cognitive and behavioral modalities. Due to the high rates of comorbidity in people with autism, various psychological therapies are in the process of adapting their delivery...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a neurobiological basis, characterized by a qualitative disturbance in social interaction and communication, associated with restricted interests and stereotyped behaviors. The genesis of autism cannot be interpreted through a single theory, and we can't compartmentalize brain areas as the only ones responsible for it. Among the neurobiological bases we can include: deficit in the social reward system, which generates poor social initiative; dysfunctions and disorders of the amygdala and the mirror neuron system, related to compromised empathy and social cognition; abnormalities in the minicolumns related to hyper-systematization; persistent inflammatory phenomena of the central nervous system related to microglia; alterations of neuropeptides such as oxytocin, vasopressin and cortisol, which compromise socialization, and neuronal inhibition disorders, expressed in GABAergic dysfunctions in interneurons, linked to autistic behaviors, epilepsy and sensory phenomena...
