“…Therefore, families in the autism group had a less healthy family function, which was significant compared to the TD group. Matching with previous research in the field, autistic children were more likely to have sleep problems or disturbances than TD children [ 25 ].…”

“…Autism and otolaryngology are linked together in many key areas, including hearing loss, CAPD, otitis media, sinusitis, and sleeping disorders. Sleeping problems can affect not only the individual with autism, but also their family’s functioning [ 25 ]. Sinusitis and ear infections are both seen at higher rates in those with autism.…”

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by stereotyped and repetitive behavior patterns. In addition to neurological and behavioral problems, individuals with ASD commonly experience otolaryngological comorbidities. Individuals with ASD often have auditory disorders including hearing loss and auditory processing disorders such as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), as well as both chronic and recurrent otitis media. These challenges negatively impact a person’s ability to effectively communicate and may further impact their neurological functioning, particularly when not appropriately treated. Individuals diagnosed with ASD also have difficulty sleeping which contributes to increased irritability and may further aggravate the core behavioral symptoms of autism. The individuals with ASD also have a higher rate of sinusitis which contributes to the worsening of the autism behavior phenotype. The high prevalence of otolaryngological comorbidities in individuals with ASD warrants a better collaboration between their various healthcare providers and otolaryngologists with expertise in auditory, sleep, and sinus disorders in pursuit of improving the quality of life of affected individuals and their families/caregivers.

“…While excellent work exists on leaving Catholic religious vocations (Ebaugh, 1977(Ebaugh, , 1984Hollingsworth, 1985), and on individual disaffiliation trajectories (for the United States, see Hornbeck ii, 2011; for Germany, see Knepper, 2012), this chapter adopts a macro-level perspective, examining an example of national departure from Catholic religiosity, and the conflicting social positions that ensue. Sociologists long considered the Republic of Ireland a pious Western European outlier (Nic Ghiolla Phádraig, 2009), with religiosity more typical of the US (Norris and Ingleharte, 2011). Neo-secularisationists attributed this to Catholicism's key role in defining the national community, an anomalous situation in secularising Western Europe (Bruce, 1992;Taylor, 2007).…”
