“…In our patient, treatment was completed in 13 months, which was markedly shorter than usual extraction treatments (13,14). It was previously reported that boys with ASD have a lower bone mineral density than controls (15). The shortened treatment duration may be related to decreased bone mineral density levels, resulting in faster tooth movement.…”

Autism is a condition that restricts brain development. Early diagnostic criteria are as follows: less responsive to social stimuli, inability to develop natural speaking skills, lack of communication skills, and limited and repetitive behaviors. Orthodontic treatment is a challenging process for doctors in autistic patients. The clinical and cephalometric examination of a 17-year and 7-month-old autistic patient revealed class I malocclusion, increased vertical dimensions, proclined upper and lower incisors, and inconsistent lip closure. The treatment plan involved four premolar extractions from each quadrant. Upper and lower 1. premolar extraction with fixed treatment caused reduction in vertical dimensions and significant improvement in lip closure and incisor inclination. Due to the increased metabolic activity in these patients, treatment was completed in 13 months. As a result, autistic patients can be successfully treated. In this process, it is important to include communication as a major part of treatment.

“…The ASD cases have reportedly abnormal bone density thus increased risk for fractures 4 . Young and adult cases of ASD have been found to have an increased odds ratio of fracture around hip, forearm and spine 3,5 . Our case reported trivial fall resulting in a closed short oblique fracture pattern and that suggests subnormal bone strength 6 .…”

“…The bone density in patients affected with ASD has been found to be subnormal and decreased exercise and low vitamin D through diet or sun exposure might be additional causes for it 2 . The decreased bone mass may cause fractures but the literature regarding fracture in these cases is limited 3 . The treatment part is compounded with problems of social and behavioral disorders inherent to ASD.…”

Autism spectrum disorders affect behavior and alter personality of the affected individual to variable extent. The associated mental retardation and disinterested social interaction makes the treatment difficult. The fracture care in such patients is challenging and requires good understanding of the condition and that of patient. The involvement of family with active participation and supervised efforts are paramount in avoiding untoward complications. We highlight challenges of fracture care in one such adult female and effective role of functional bracing for a satisfactory outcome in selected cases.

“…35,36 . Another study from Brazil reported lower level of Vitamin D in children with ASD than controls and a mean serum value of 26.5 ng/mL 28,37 . In a study conducted in the Faroe Islands as part of a population based study, lower Vitamin D levels (mean : 9.9 ng/mL) were reported in 40 individuals (aged 15-24 years) with ASD, as compared to their normally developing siblings, parents, and age-and gender-matched healthy controls 38 .…”

“…Mann-Whitney test,* significance difference ** Serum Creatinine normal levels (male:0.9-1.5 mg/dl, female:0.7-1.4 mg/dl) Herndon found that both autistic and control groups had comparable inadequacy of Vitamin D in their diet which was similar to our findings. However, Neumeyer reported that autistic children was much lower than control group with both less than daily recommended allowance 28 . Furthermore, there were many studies reported that even healthy children did not reach the recommended Vitamin D intake in their diets as in Europe, Saudi Arabia, Beirut and Israel [29][30][31][32] .…”

ABSTRACT:It is well known that main sources of Vitamin D are sun exposure and diet. There is a gap in our knowledge about the contribution of these factors to Vitamin D level among autistic children in Egypt. Aim: To determine Vitamin D dietary intake and sun exposure and their impact on vitamin D level. Methods and procedures: Serum Vitamin D levels were measured in 42 autistic and 40 healthy matched children. Dietary Vitamin D intake and sun exposure hours were collected using an adapted pre-validated food frequency questionnaire. Vitamin D intake was compared with recommended dietary intake (600 IU). Results and outcomes: Autistic children had significantly lower serum levels of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D than healthy children (P < 0.001) with 54.7% and 28.6% being Vitamin D deficient and insufficient, respectively. Dietary Vitamin D intake of both groups was significantly lower than recommended dietary intake. No correlations between serum Vitamin D level and dietary Vitamin D intake or Childhood Autism Rating Scale. Conclusion and implications: Vitamin D deficiency was found in autistic children and this may contribute to pathogenesis of the disease. There is a need to increase awareness about Vitamin D importance in children's diet.
