BCL11A intellectual developmental disorder: defining the clinical spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations
2021
AbstractPurposeHeterozygous variants in BCL11A underlie an intellectual developmental disorder with persistence of fetal hemoglobin (BCL11A-IDD, a.k.a. Dias-Logan syndrome). We sought to delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of BCL11A-IDD.MethodsWe performed an in-depth analysis of 42 patients with BCL11A-IDD ascertained through a collaborative network of clinical and research colleagues. We also reviewed 33 additional affected individuals previously reported in the literature or available through public repositories with clinical information.ResultsMolecular and clinical data analysis of 75 patients with BCL11A-IDD identified 60 unique variants (30 frameshift, 7 missense, 6 splic…
Quality of Inclusive Educational System for Work with Students with Autism Different Needs in Italy
2015
The need for realization of inclusive education, which is the basis of a sustainable education, will require new challenges in the Education System. The system used in Italy can be used as an example. Italy passed avant-garde laws concerning the integration and inclusion of special needs students into the general school system already more than thirty years ago, in the 1970s. However, even after all this time and experience, there are still unresolved problems, which testifies to the complexities of the matter. This research offers an insight into the quality of the existing Italian inclusive education system specifically in relation to students with autism. Thereby it hopes to provide educ…
Evidence of the Gluten-Free and Casein-Free Diet in Autism Spectrum Disorders
2014
In autism spectrum disorders, many parents resort to alternative treatments and these are generally perceived as risk free. Among these, the most commonly used is the gluten-free, casein-free diet. The objective of this work was to conduct a systematic review of studies published from 1970 to date related to the gluten-free, casein-free diet in autism spectrum disorder patients. Few studies can be regarded as providing sound scientific evidence since they were blinded randomized controlled trials, and even these were based on small sample sizes, reducing their validity. We observed that the evidence on this topic is currently limited and weak. We recommend that it should be only used after…
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
2019
Material docente programado mediante la ayuda del Servei de Política Lingüística. Autism spectrum Disorders (ASD) are, without doubt, one of the nosological groups that cause the greatest suffering in childhood both for those who are affected with this condition and for those who accompany them (parents, family, caregivers, etc.). ASD is a group of chronic conditions with onset before the age of three. However, it is believed that in many cases affectation is present at birth or even in the foetal period. Alt-hough some children have signs in the first few months of life, others do not become manifest until 24 months of age. In fact, development sometimes appears to be normal until the chil…
Utilizing content analysis in teaching materials for children with autism spectrum disorder
2019
It is important to look at how education materials for students with disability view disability itself. Raising the general public's awareness on autism is crucial because of the rise in the antivaxx and anti-science movements, particularly in the United States. This thesis utilizes Content Analysis to explore how a set of teaching materials for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) understands ASD and the agency of the ASD child and creates trust with the readers. I analyze two argumentation styles to understand how those forms of argumentation create trust with the readers. This study is qualitative and relies on philosophical and cultural definitions of agency and personhood. In a…

Is It Possible to Educate, Intervene or “Cure” Autism Spectrum Disorder? A Content Analysis of YouTube Videos
2021
YouTube es uno de los sitios web más conocidos y de mayor acceso en todo el mundo, por lo que tiene un gran potencial pedagógico. No obstante, la calidad y la veracidad de algunos videos de YouTube son cuestionables. Las dudas sobre la confiabilidad del contenido fáctico es un factor controvertido que debe tenerse en cuenta, especialmente cuando se abordan cuestiones de salud pública. Por ello, el principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el contenido de los vídeos en español más vistos en YouTube relacionados con el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Para la realización de esta investigación se utilizaron los términos "autismo Y educación", "autismo Y intervención" y "autismo Y cur…
Les habilitats de comunicació social primerenca i la seua relació amb la competència lingüística i amb la presència de marcadors de risc d’autisme: e…
2019
Des del naixement, els bebès mostren una atracció natural per les cares humanes (Bedford et al., 2012; Droucker, Curtin, & Vouloumanos, 2013). Així mateix, des dels primers mesos de vida, manifesten un fort interès per mirar cap a la direcció que indica la mirada de l'adult (Farroni, Massaccesi, Menon, & Johnson, 2004). Al voltant dels 6-8 mesos, aprenen a alinear deliberadament la seua pròpia mirada amb la mirada de l’adult (Beuker, Rommelse, Donders, & Buitelaar, 2013). Més tard, passen de seguir la direcció de la mirada de l’adult als 6 mesos a comprendre la intencionalitat d’aquesta mirada al voltant dels 12 mesos (Tomasello, Carpenter, Call, & Behne, 2005). Amb la comprensió del signif…
Impact of Three Kinds of Early Interventions on Developmental Profile in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder
2022
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a rising prevalence disorder. This high-cost/high-burden condition needs evidence-based behavioral treatments that are able to reduce the impact of symptoms on children’s functioning. This retrospective chart review study compared the impact of different types of early interventions on toddlers diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder developmental profile. Analyses were conducted on 90 subjects (mean = 27.76 months, range 18–44 months; M:F = 4.29:1), of which 36 children underwent the usual treatment, 13 children underwent an intervention based on early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) and 41 children rece…
Equal opportunities to social inclusion for autistic Children
2014
La tasa de prevalencia de los trastornos del espectro del autismo (TEA) se ha incrementado dramáticamente en los últimos años. El Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de Atlanta estima que aproximadamente 1 de cada 68 niños ha sido identificado con TEA. Los niños con TEA presentan problemas en las habilidades sociales, emocionales, de comunicación y de la vida diaria. Por otra parte, presentan dificultades desde la primera infancia en áreas clave para el aprendizaje y para su desarrollo. Debido a estas características la mayoría de los niños con TEA necesitan programas específicos de inclusión educativa; en este sentido, la acción y la atención temprana es muy importante p…
