The executive function theory was utilized to examine the relationship between cognitive process and the restricted, repetitive symptoms of Autistic Disorder (AD). Seventeen adults with AD were compared to 17 nonautistic controls on a new executive function battery (Delis-Kaplin Executive Function Scales). Restricted, repetitive symptoms were measured by a variety of instruments (i.e., the Auti...

Abstract Objectives Animal-assisted therapy with dogs is regularly used in children behavioural and developmental disorders. Aims of this systematic review were threefold: to analyse the methodological quality studies on dog-assisted (DAT) for disorders, determine which extent DAT adhere criteria developed by International Association Human Animal Interaction Organisation (IAHAIO) describe char...

BACKGROUND Autism is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder,thought to be caused by a combination of genetic heritability and environmental risk factors. Some autistic-like traits have been reported in mothers of autistic children. We hypothesized that dysregulation of oxytocin (OXT), Arg-vasopressin (AVP) and sex hormones, found in autistic children, may also exist in their mothers. METHODS...

It has long been recognized that there is phenotypic overlap between Rett syndrome (RS) and autism. Advances in our clinical and genetic understanding of RS over the past decade have made clear that the cause and course of RS and autism are distinct (except perhaps in a few cases). Despite this, further delineation of the phenotypic overlap between RS and autism is warranted to enhance clinical...
