Autism Spectrum Disorder
4A
Introduction
Introduction
- 3.5 million+ Americans
- 2000 - 2010: autism ↑ 119.4%
- "Spectrum" ----> diff. levels
Symptoms
- ID young
- Large impact
- Interest:
- objects
- specialized info
Symptoms
- Nonverbal comm.
- Relationships = difficult
- Hyper/hypoactive sensory responses
- Repetitive speech
Literature Cited
Symptoms
Likelihood
- Time = important
- Motor behavior
- repetitive
- purposeless
- lack of phys. coordination

- Boys 4-5x more
- Family
- Fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis
- Extremely preterm
- Older parents
Treatment
Treatment
- Behavorial/speech therapy:
- Safest method
- Expensive
- Often ineffective
- Majority = diagnosed
- Disorder stays
- Many = lifetime support
- ≈ $2.4 mil/person
Treatment
Diagnosis
Treatment
- Most basic = therapy:
- Behavorial
- Speech
- Occupational
Youth therapy:
- > improvements
- Change habits/actions
- Out of ASD?
Diagnosis
- Diagnostics = very specific
- Asperger's Disorder - spectrum
- NO med. tests, scans, imaging
- Diagnosis = observation only
Treatment
Diagnosis
- Mild ASD ----> oxycotin ↑ social interaction
- Case report: vitamin D-symptoms (improve)
- Not trustworthy
- Observations:
- Hx (mother's pregnancy or family)
- Development milestones
- Habits/coordination
- Lab tests
- Sensory challenges
Diagnosis
- Infants - screening tests
- Thorough exams
- Track development
- Immediate treatment
Treatment
- Many meds = attempts @ cures
- Antipsychotic risperidone
- Passed US FDA
- Δ chem. make up (brain)
- ↓ irritability
Genetic Research
Findings
- Possibilities:
- Wifi?
- Chromosome 15?
- Environmental factors?
- Vaccines?
Findings
- Factors ↑ likelihood
- Ingestion of harmful substances
- Certain med. conditions
- Harmful environment
Findings
- Many possibilities
- Unstable genes ----> brain development (interferes)
- Vitamin D = improvements (children)
- Problems in pregnancy ----> child's abilities
Studies
- Origin = unclear
- "Machine learning"
- Large-scale study- 2x when population ↑
- Families- patterns
- Genetic basis?
