Differences in executive functioning in children with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Abstract: Children with either fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) or attention-deficit0hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) display deficits in attention and executive function (EF) and differential diagnosis of these two clinical groups may be difficult, especially when information about prenatal alcohol exposure is unavailable. The current study compared EF performance of three groups: children with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure (ALC); nonexposed children with attention-deficit0hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); and typica… Show more

“…Although it is not known whether Racine et al's sample included children with prenatal alcohol exposure, the majority (80%) of children with FASD in the current study also met criteria for ADD or ADHD by caregiver report, consistent with other clinical samples of children affected by prenatal alcohol exposure (Mattson et al, 2011). This finding suggests that attention problems, as in children with ADD or ADHD, may significantly affect handwriting performance in children with FASD, even though the type of attention deficit in the two clinical populations differs (Vaurio, Riley, & Mattson, 2008).…”

“…Dentre as alterações neuroquímicas, a literatura cita a diminuição da acetilcolina, da enzima que sintetiza a glutamina e alterações nos níveis de dopamina e dos receptores dopaminérgicos (7) . Isto pode constituir fator de risco para alterações do desenvolvimento, que influenciam no processamento das informações, com tendência a alterações nas habilidades, cognitivas, linguísticas, sociais e de autocuidados (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)11) . Outro estudo (9) afirmou que, apesar das crianças com SAF apresentarem comportamentos compatíveis com Desordens do Espectro Autístico, crianças com SAF e crianças autistas, mesmo apresentando dificuldades para se engajar em interações sociais, direcionar o foco atencional e lidar com aspectos da comunicação verbal e não verbal, demonstraram diferenças na qualidade das interações.…”
