abstract: autistic child may have a range of problems. failure of understand the meaning of words is the main characteristic of the autistic child. child `s ability to communicate may also be inappropriate. in briefly, the areas of language problems in these children, in other languages, are pragmatic and semantic. because of the difficulties of the working with autistic children, research rela...

PURPOSE The aim of this pilot study was to test autistic children, siblings and their parents using a biometric device based on the gas discharge visualization (GDV) technique in order to assess their psycho-emotional and physiological functional state based on the activity of the autonomic nervous system. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that the biometric assessment based on GDV will enable us: (1...

conclusions the results showed that despite the simultaneous high prevalence of sleep disturbances and sensory processing disorders in children with autism, there isn’t a significant relationship between the two conditions among these children. background autism is a neurological disorder that limits communication, socialization, and participation of children in symbolic play. sensory processin...

background  autistic spectrum disorder (asd) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. there is a large quantity of evidence which point towards a positive correlation between autism and mitochondrial disorders (md). in addition to that, several published reports, indicate that people with neurological disorders exhibit pathological signs of mitochondrial disorders and vice versa. screening for underly...

background: despite many efforts, the etiology of autism remains unknown. food allergy has been suggested as a pathogenic factor in autism spectrum disorder (asd). our aim in this study was to determine whether food allergy could be considered as a risk factor for autistic children. methods: thirty-nine autistic children were examined by the skin prick test (spt), and total serum ige was evalua...

A key characteristic of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is their heterogeneity. Autistic children have an extensive range of functional ability, behavioral issues, family situations, individual needs and idiosyncratic interests, making generalizations about intervention and treatment all but impossible. In addition, autistic children may have co-occurring disorders such as mental retardation ...

sleep disorders in children can lead to considerable complications. in some mental disorders including autism, it has more importance. despite the importance of sleep in children developments and lives, few researches have conducted in this area therefore this research is going to investigate sleep behavioral disorders in children and compare with normal children. research design was causal-com...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with dimensional behavioral symptoms and various damages in the structural and functional brain. Previous neuroimaging studies focused on exploring the differences of brain development between individuals with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, few of them have attempted to investigate the individual differences of the brain features am...

Despite language disabilities in autism, music abilities are frequently preserved. Paradoxically, brain regions associated with these functions typically overlap, enabling investigation of neural organization supporting speech and song in autism. Neural systems sensitive to speech and song were compared in low-functioning autistic and age-matched control children using passive auditory stimulat...
