“…Primary care providers are often asked about nonstandard interventions that are used in integrative practice or are promoted on the Internet, in the popular press, by other families, and by celebrities. [511][512][513][514][515][516] The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health maintains a Web site in which current information on novel therapies in popular use for people with ASD is reviewed. 517 In the past decade, an increasing number of interventions based on theories of causation of ASD that are, as yet, unproven have been examined in clinical trials.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with reported prevalence in the United States of 1 in 59 children (approximately 1.7%). Core deficits are identified in 2 domains: social communication/interaction and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior. Children and youth with ASD have service needs in behavioral, educational, health, leisure, family support, and other areas. Standardized screening for ASD at 18 and 24 months of age with ongoing developmental surveillance continues to be recommended in primary care (although it may be performed in other settings), because ASD is common, can be diagnosed as young as 18 months of age, and has evidenced-based interventions that may improve function. More accurate and culturally sensitive screening approaches are needed. Primary care providers should be familiar with the diagnostic criteria for ASD, appropriate etiologic evaluation, and co-occurring medical and behavioral conditions (such as disorders of sleep and feeding, gastrointestinal tract symptoms, obesity, seizures, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and wandering) that affect the child' s function and quality of life. There is an increasing evidence base to support behavioral and other interventions to address specific skills and symptoms. Shared decision making calls for collaboration with families in evaluation and choice of interventions. This single clinical report updates the 2007 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical reports on the evaluation and treatment of ASD in one publication with an online table of contents and section view available through the American Academy of Pediatrics Gateway to help the reader identify topic areas within the report.

Існують припущення про патогенетичну роль молочних глютену і казеїну в розвитку шизофренії [16,29]. Ці припущення базуються на тому, що вказані інгредієнти призводять до надмірного накопичення екзорфінів у лікворі, що клінічно може проявитись симптомами шизофренії, аутизму.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Use of specific services may help to optimize health for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, little is known about their service use patterns. We aimed to (1) define service use groups and (2) determine associations of sociodemographic, developmental, behavioral, and health characteristics with service use groups among schoolaged children with ASD. METHODS: We analyzed cross-sectional data on 1378 children aged 6 to 18 years with an ASD diagnosis from the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network registry for 2008-2015, which included 16 US sites and 2 Canadian sites. Thirteen service use indicators spanning behavioral and medical treatments (eg, developmental therapy, psychotropic medications, and special diets) were examined. Latent class analysis was used to identify groups of children with similar service use patterns. RESULTS: By using latent class analysis, school-aged children with ASD were placed into 4 service use classes: limited services (12.0%), multimodal services (36.4%), predominantly educational and/or behavioral services (42.6%), or predominantly special diets and/or natural products (9.0%). Multivariable analysis results revealed that compared with children in the educational and/or behavioral services class, those in the multimodal services class had greater ASD severity and more externalizing behavior problems, those in the limited services class were older and had less ASD severity, and those in the special diets and/or natural products class had higher income and poorer quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we identified 4 service use groups among school-aged children with ASD that may be related to certain sociodemographic, developmental, behavioral, and health characteristics. Study findings may be used to better support providers and families in decision-making about ASD services. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Myriad services exist for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some researchers have examined the use of individual services, the number of services used, and weekly treatment hours among children with ASD. Little is known, however, about service use patterns among children with ASD. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: In this study, we identified 4 distinctive service use classes among a large sample of school-aged children with ASD across North America. Service use classes included limited services, multimodal services, predominantly educational and/or behavioral services, and predominantly special diets and/or natural products.
