  2. Impairment in communication
  3. Restricted, stereotyped interests + behaviours
18
Q

Aetiology autism

A

Pre-natal
• Genetics: chromosome 7; ↑ incidence in fragile X syndrome & tuberous sclerosis
• Older parental age

Ante-natal
• Drugs (exposure to baby in womb) → sodium valproate
• Infection (rubella)
• Obstetric complications → hypoxia during childbirth, ↓ gestational age at birth, low birthweight

Post-natal
• Toxins: lead + mercury
• Pesticide exposure

19

ABC

    b. Echolalia (repetition of words)
20

  • Hearing test
  • Screening tools: e.g. CHAT (checklist for autism in toddler’s)
23
Q

General treatment for autism

A
  • Local autism teams (MDT: paediatrician, psych, educ. Psychologist, SALT, OT) → KEY WORKER (manage + co-ordinate treatment)
