Treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Adolescents and Adults with Down Syndrome: Results from a Scoping Rapid Review
CONCLUSIONS: While the outcomes of most interventions yielded partial or significant reduction in symptoms, poor research quality and limited generalizability noted across all studies make it difficult to inform guidelines for caring for this high-needs population. In the future, we believe it is necessary to perform more rigorous research focused on treating obsessive compulsive symptoms in individuals with Down syndrome with sufficient follow-up to fully assess treatment effectiveness.PMID:38607470 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06336-z (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

The Association Between Children's Autism Spectrum Disorders and Central Nervous System Infections: Using a Nationwide Claims Database
This study aimed to examine this issue using an extensive national database. Utilizing JMDC medical claims database, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of children with at least three years of follow-up from birth, ensuring the mother's information was available. The focus was on the relationship between ASD incidence and exposures like viral meningitis/encephalitis, bacterial meningitis, and intrauterine infections. Cox proportional hazards was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with covariates such as presence of maternal history of mental illness, preterm, low birth weight, respiratory and cardiac disorder, ep...

Cannabidiol improves maternal obesity-induced behavioral, neuroinflammatory and neurochemical dysfunctions in the juvenile offspring
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Apr 10;119:301-316. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.04.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMaternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder in the offspring. While numerous studies focus on preventive measures targeting the mothers, only a limited number provide practical approaches for addressing the damages once they are already established. We have recently demonstrated the interplay between maternal obesity and treatment with cannabidiol (CBD) on hypothalamic inflammation and metabolic disturbances, howe...

Effects of a Teacher-Facilitated Peer-Mediated Intervention on Social Play of Preschoolers with Autism
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06320-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren with autism often display differences in functional and symbolic play and may experience barriers to social inclusion with peers in preschool settings. Therefore, interventions supporting social play between children with autism and their peers that can be feasibly implemented by teachers in inclusive settings are needed. A teacher-implemented peer-mediated Stay Play Talk (SPT; Goldstein et al. in Top Lang Disord 27(2):182-199, 2007) intervention package targeting the type of play children with autism engage in with pe...

Retrospective Analysis of Burn Injuries in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06334-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren with neurodevelopmental disorders are at risk for burn injury, but the clinical outcomes, particularly mortality, are unknown in this patient population in the United States (U.S.). The main objectives of this study are to evaluate (1) subject characteristics; (2) burn injury type; (3) clinical care provided; and (4) mortality in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), hypothesizing that this patient population has similar mortality and critical care management requirements when compared to children without ASD. ...

Resting Frontal Gamma Power is Associated with Both Expressive Language and Non-verbal Cognitive Abilities in Young Autistic Children
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06308-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research links resting frontal gamma power to key developmental outcomes in young neurotypical (NT) children and infants at risk for language impairment. However, it remains unclear whether gamma power is specifically associated with language or with more general cognitive abilities among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study evaluates differences in resting frontal gamma power between young autistic and NT children and tests whether gamma power is uniquely associated with indi...

Factors Associated with Confirmed and Unconfirmed Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis in Children Volunteering for Research
CONCLUSION: Increased reported psychiatric disorders in the ASD- group suggests psychiatric complexity may contribute to community misdiagnosis and possible overdiagnosis of ASD. Clinician-mediated tools (ADI-R, ADOS-2) differentiated ASD + versus ASD- groups, whereas caregiver-reported questionnaires did not.PMID:38607474 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06329-y (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)
