WHAT IS AUTISM• a developmental
disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life
• affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills.
• a physical condition linked to abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain.

AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD)• is a range of complex neurodevelopment
disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior.
![Page 7: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
AUTISM• Autistic disorder,
sometimes called autism or classical ASD, is the most severe form of ASD
• Males are four times more likely to have an ASD than females.
![Page 8: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PERVASIVE DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS • Asperger syndrome
– like autism, but with normal language development
• Rett syndrome
– very different from autism, and almost always occurs in females
• Childhood disintegrative disorder
– rare condition where a child learns skills, then loses them by age 10
• Pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS),
– also called atypical autism
![Page 9: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS• The exact causes of these abnormalities
remain unknown• Genetic factors
– Chromosomal abnormalities – Other nervous system (neurological) problems
• Suspected causes– Digestive tract changes
– Mercury poisoning
– The body's inability to properly use vitamins and minerals
– Vaccine sensitivity

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE “ON THE SPECTRUM”?
• Unique• have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music and
academic skills.• About 40 percent have average to above average
intellectual abilities.
![Page 11: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SYMPTOMS• Most parents of autistic children suspect that
something is wrong by the time the child is 18 months old and seek help by the time the child is age 2. Children with autism typically have difficulties in:
– Pretend play
– Social interactions
– Verbal and nonverbal communication
• The hallmark feature of ASD is impaired social interaction.
![Page 12: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DIAGNOSTICS• if a child fails to meet any of the following language
milestones:– Babbling by 12 months
– Gesturing (pointing, waving bye-bye) by 12 months
– Saying single words by 16 months
– Saying two-word spontaneous phrases by 24 months (not just echoing)
– Losing any language or social skills at any age
– excessive lining up of toys or objects

A TEAM OF DIFFERENT SPECIALISTS MIGHT EVALUATE:
• Communication

• Speech
• Success at school

What do those words mean?
• Spectrum Disorder: there is a wide degree of variation in the way it affects people.
• Autism Spectrum Disorder: a brain development disorder commonly diagnosed before age 3, with impairments primarily in social interaction, communication and restrictive & repetitive behavior
• DSM-IV: the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition) lists the different categories of mental disorders and the criteria for diagnosing them
• Common names for Asperger’s Syndrome: AS, Asperger Syndrome, Asperger’s

![Page 17: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Background
• Identified in 1944 by Hans Asperger. (Austria)
• Brought to the attention of the English-speaking world in 1980 by Dr. Lorna Wing.
• Was not added to the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of the American Psychiatric Association until 1994.

![Page 18: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Unique Characteristics of AS• They considered that early language and cognitive
skills are not delayed significantly in children with Asperger's syndrome.
• There is also no clinically significant delay in age-appropriate self-help skills, adaptive behavior and curiosity about the environment in childhood.
• also less likely to include motor mannerisms and preoccupation with parts of objects as occurs in autism.
• in Asperger's syndrome there can be a motivation to socialize but this is achieved in a highly eccentric, one-sided, verbose and insensitive manner.
![Page 19: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Center for Disease Control
• Went from 1 in 2500 to 1 in 1000 to 1 in 100 over the past decade.
• 5 boys to every girl• Identical Twins• Family Hx- 1 in 20• AS is usually diagnosed between the
ages of 5 and 9
![Page 27: Aspergers syndrome complete (group 1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558be49ed8b42a71168b4648/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Statistic in Philippines
• Statistics show that in the Philippines at least 600,000 families are estimated to be affected with autism. Likewise, there was a recent report from the Center for Disease Control of the United States that one (1) out of 110 individuals is affected of some forms of autism. It is also the fastest rising developmental disability that will be diagnosed more than diabetes, cancer and AIDS combined in the coming years.
