“…This hypothesis is supported by findings from adult brain scans, as these scans show how listening to crying from infants with ASD activate a brain activity that indicates far more negative emotions than does listening to the sound of typically developing infants’ crying (Venuti et al., ). In the present study, the crying of children with ASD may have been experienced by the mother as lasting longer, which again could have triggered that a higher proportion of children with ASD were described as “crybabies” in studies based on information from primary healthcare (Barnevik Olsson et al., ; van Tongerloo et al., ).…”

“…A study based on prospective data from the ALSPAC cohort compared children who were later diagnosed with ASD with children from the cohort and found no statistically significant differences in the crying pattern at 6 and 18 months (Bolton, Golding, Emond, & Steer, ). However, two studies based on records from primary healthcare showed that children who were later diagnosed with ASD were described as excessively crying in infancy more often than did other children (Barnevik Olsson et al., ; van Tongerloo, Bor, &; Lagro‐Janssen, ). Other deviations in regulation of emotions also have been shown in the first years of life in children who are later diagnosed with ASD.…”

Studies have shown that children later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in their first years of life might show symptoms in main developmental areas and that these signs might be sensed by the parents. The present study investigated in a large birth cohort if children later diagnosed with ASD had deviations at 6 and 18 months in areas such as the ability to self-regulate emotions, feeding, and sleeping. The study was based on prospective information collected from 76,322 mothers who participated in the Danish National Birth Cohort. When the children reached an average age of 11 years, 973 children with ASD and a control group of 300 children with intellectual disability (IDnoASD) were identified via Danish health registries. Associations were found between short periods of breast-feeding and the children later diagnosed with ASD and IDnoASD as well as associations at 18 months to deviations in regulation of emotions and activity. The similarities in these associations emphasize how difficult it is to distinguish between diagnoses early in life.

“…In some children with ASDs there is an early onset of regulatory problems (Barnevik-Olsson et al, unpublished data, 2013), such as with sleeping,60 crying,61 and feeding 62. The importance of identifying autism at an early age has been stressed in many studies 63,64.…”

Autism spectrum disorders involve a set of clinical phenotypes that mirror an early onset of neurodevelopmental deviations, with core symptoms that can probably be related to a deficiency in the social instinct. Underlying the cognitive impairments there are physiological brain problems, caused by a large number of medical factors. This narrative review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses from the last 5 years (2008–2012) presents aspects from many areas in autism spectrum disorder research, with a particular focus on early intervention and the subsequent impact on prognosis. Other major areas discussed are epidemiology, early symptoms and screening, early diagnosis, neuropsychology, medical factors, and the existence of comorbidities. There is limited evidence that any of the broadband “early intervention” programs are effective in changing the natural long-term outcome for many individuals with an early diagnosis of autism. However, there is some evidence that Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) is an effective treatment for some children with ASD. Nevertheless, there is emerging consensus that early diagnosis and information are needed in order that an autism-friendly environment be “created” around affected individuals.

“…Children with developmental delays have higher rates of health care use, yet paradoxically, are more likely to have unmet health needs . More specifically, children with ASD are more likely to have chronic illnesses and are more likely than their counterparts to have otorhinolaryngology conditions . A 2013 literature review reported on several studies that illustrated comorbidities found in children with ASD, including higher rates of psychiatric disorders (eg, anxiety) and feeding disorders .…”

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) face unique challenges when preparing for and undergoing surgery in the perioperative setting. Our goal was to describe this experience via the qualitative evaluation of interviews with parents whose children with ASD had recently undergone surgery in a tertiary medical center. Twelve parents or guardians participated in these interviews. Two independent researchers recorded interviews and analyzed transcripts. The researchers analyzed the interview transcripts using qualitative software to determine the categories of frequent answers to interview questions. Important categories that emerged included behavioral triggers (ie, response to sounds, expression of anxiety and pain), objects used for comfort, communication issues, important people, and advice. We found that children with ASD have specific and unique needs for reassurance and comfort during a perioperative visit. We created a tool, included in this article, to provide a patient-centered framework for interactions with children with ASD in the perioperative environment.
