“…Studies have demonstrated that non-Hispanic White students with ASD are approximately 2 times more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than their Black or Hispanic peers (Kogan et al, 2009;Travers, Tincani, & Krezmien, 2013), and children from non-White minority groups are less likely than White children to have a diagnosis of ASD in their records (Mandell et al, 2009). Children born outside of the United States or to immigrant mothers are also diagnosed with ASD later than their peers (Valicenti-McDermott, Hottinger, Seijo, & Shulman, 2012). A recent study of diagnoses across race and ethnicity found a lower prevalence of ASD in non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic groups compared with non-Hispanic White children, suggesting that mildmoderate cases of ASD may be underdiagnosed in these groups (Jo et al, 2015).…”

Purpose This study investigated whether measures of early social communication vary among young children of diverse racial/ethnic status with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method Participants were 364 toddlers between ages 18 and 36 months with a diagnosis of ASD confirmed ( n = 195) or ruled out ( n = 169), from 3 racial/ethnic categories: non-Hispanic White ( n = 226), non-Hispanic Black ( n = 74), and Hispanic ( n = 64). Group differences in social communication were examined using an observational measure—the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Behavior Sample (CSBS-BS; Wetherby & Prizant, 2002)—and a parent-report measure, the Early Screening for Autism and Communication Disorders (Wetherby, Woods, & Lord, 2007). Results Controlling for maternal education, children with ASD scored significantly lower on the CSBS-BS than children without, indicating poorer social communication skills, and higher on the Early Screening for Autism and Communication Disorders, indicating more ASD features. Racial/ethnic groups did not differ on 6 CSBS-BS clusters, but Non-Hispanic White toddlers scored significantly higher than both other groups on the Understanding cluster. There were no significant Diagnosis × Race/Ethnicity interactions. Conclusion These findings indicate good agreement between observed and parent-report measures in this sample. Results suggest that the CSBS-BS and Early Screening for Autism and Communication Disorders could be viable tools in the detection process for toddlers with ASD in these racial/ethnic groups.

“…São avaliadas atividade de autocuidado, transferências, locomoção, controle esfincteriano, comunicação e cognição social. As hipóteses levantadas de acordo com esses resultados relacionam-se a alguns pontos específicos como um possível diagnóstico tardio desses sujeitos, conforme a literatura, a agilidade no diagnóstico tem aumentado a cada ano, porém ainda é possível identificar dificuldades para o diagnóstico precoce 29,30 . Esse fato acarreta em demora para acessar serviços que possam promover melhora nos comportamentos/dificuldades característicos do autismo antes de se tornarem estruturados.…”

A equoterapia vem sendo utilizada como tratamento reabilitador em diferentes patologias, no entanto, sua eficácia ainda não é comprovada no que tange ao desempenho funcional de indivíduos com autismo. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar o efeito da equoterapia no desempenho funcional de crianças e adolescentes com autismo comparando praticantes e não praticantes. Participaram do estudo indivíduos com autismo com idades entre 3 e 15 anos, ambos os sexos divididos entre Praticantes e Não Praticantes, emparelhados por gênero e idade. Utilizou-se um questionário para avaliar variáveis socioeconômicas e para avaliação do desempenho funcional o Inventário de Avaliação Pediátrica de Incapacidade (PEDI) e a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF), aplicados aos cuidadores, para <8 anos e >8 anos, respectivamente. Foram entrevistados 28 cuidadores (14 em cada grupo). Houve diferença para o desempenho funcional das crianças que praticavam equoterapia avaliados pelo PEDI na área de Autocuidado (p=0,041) e Mobilidade (p=0,001). Não houve diferença para o desempenho funcional daqueles avaliados pela MIF (p=0,384). Este estudo sugere que a equoterapia é eficaz para crianças com autismo, nas tarefas das áreas de mobilidade e autocuidado, sendo uma área inovadora para terapia ocupacional.

“…In addition, some studies have demonstrated that the language regression history also seems to drive the accomplishment of the early diagnosis (Rosenberg et al, 2011;Valicenti-McDermott, Hottinger, Seijo, & Shulman, 2012). Despite the lack of a consensus on the definition of language regression, in operational terms, it tends to be defined as the loss of the communicative use of three to five words (except for "papa" and "mama") for more than three months, a phenomenon that affects between 20 and 30% of the children with this diagnosis (Backes, Zanon, & Bosa, 2013).…”
