TLDR
The consensus expert opinion of the panel was that individuals with ASDs deserve the same thoroughness and standard of care in the diagnostic workup and treatment of gastrointestinal concerns as should occur for patients without ASDs.Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common and clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders and associated symptoms are commonly reported in individuals with ASDs, but key issues such as the prevalence and best treatment of these conditions are incompletely understood. A central difficulty in recognizing and characterizing gastrointestinal dysfunction with ASDs is the communication difficulties experienced by many affected individuals. A multidisciplinary panel reviewed the medical literature with the aim of generating evidence-based recommendations for diagnostic evaluation and management of gastrointestinal problems in this patient population. The panel concluded that evidence-based recommendations are not yet available. The consensus expert opinion of the panel was that individuals with ASDs deserve the same thoroughness and standard of care in the diagnostic workup and treatment of gastrointestinal concerns as should occur for patients without ASDs. Care providers should be aware that problem behavior in patients with ASDs may be the primary or sole symptom of the underlying medical condition, including some gastrointestinal disorders. For these patients, integration of behavioral and medical care may be most beneficial. Priorities for future research are identified to advance our understanding and management of gastrointestinal disorders in persons with ASDs.read more

TL;DR: Eviologic investigations focused on nongenetic factors have established advanced parental age and preterm birth as ASD risk factors, indicated that prenatal exposure to air pollution and short interpregnancy interval are potentialrisk factors, and suggested the need for further exploration of certain prenatal nutrients, metabolic conditions, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

TL;DR: Careful double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are needed to evaluate whether actual benefit undergirds the diets' popularity and to provide better guidance to clinicians and caregivers.

TL;DR: A multicomponent strategy was developed that addressed both the biological context (menstrual discomfort) and the psychosocial context (task demands) and reduced problem behaviors to near-zero levels across 3 participants.

Biological setting events for self-injury
TL;DR: A model suggests that the influence of several biological factors, including menses, otitis media, fatigue, allergies, and constipation, that may serve as setting events alter the functional properties of the antecedent stimuli that control self-injurious behavior, thereby strengthening the specific consequences that maintain the behavior.

CDC: autism spectrum disorders common.
TL;DR: As an alternative to use of the advertised drug, although some (19%) did note lifestyle changes as an adjunct to the drug’s use, the ads often portrayed scenarios where a person lost and then regained control over some aspect of life and, as a result, increased social approval.

TL;DR: The presence of LNH in the colon and/or terminal ileum is a frequent finding in symptomatic children undergoing colonoscopy and unless associated with other specific endoscopic or histologic lesions, LNH is related to a condition of delayed-type food hypersensitivity.
