THE ability to attribute mental states others ('theory of mind') pervades normal social interaction and is impaired in autistic individuals. In a previous positron emission tomography scan study volunteers, performing 'theory mind' task was associated with activity left medial prefrontal cortex. We used the same paradigm five patients Asperger syndrome, mild variant autism intellectual functioning. No task-related found this region, but observed immediately adjacent areas. This result...
A community-based sample of adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) cases (n = 51) was contrasted with an age-, sex-, and school-matched comparison group [comp] on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) at a mean age 21 years. There were no study dropouts. Fewer than 10% AN underweight time testing. Overall, there few differences across two groups, even though COMP performed significantly better object assembly subtest. small subgroup showed autism-spectrum disorders. This...
This study explores the experiences and reflections of staff in intellectual disability (ID) services concerning ageing with ID. Qualitative interviews were conducted 24 members group homes daily activity centres. The findings showed that uncertain about signs people disabilities; they compared life conditions these older without disabilities. Their emphasis on an active lifestyle was very strong. also mentioned uncertainty how to facilitate assistive devices whether 'ageing place' best...
We examined feeding problems, including Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), in preschool children with Autism Spectrum (ASD). Data were collected from a prospective longitudinal study of 46 ASD multiethnic, low resource area Gothenburg, Sweden. Feeding problems found 76% the ASD, and 28%, criteria for ARFID met. The highlights early onset age, heterogeneity need multidisciplinary assessments as well also further elaboration disorder classifications children.
ABSTRACTS This study examined group differences in language and pragmatic functions across sex‐, age‐and IQ‐matched samples of Asperger syndrome (N=22), high‐functioning autism (N=11), deficits attention, motor control perception (DAMP) speech disorder (SLD) (N=11) groups. The purpose was to explore possible differentiating features the fields vocabulary, comprehension pragmatics and, addition, determine whether could be reliably separated from on these variables. findings suggest that may...
The 20‐item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) was completed at the age of 22 years by individuals who had previously suffered from anorexia nervosa (AN), and also members a comparison group. AN groups been recruited community samples. Overall, TAS scores did not clearly discriminate between two groups. However, group significantly more often represented among subjects with highest scores. A subgroup empathy disorder tended to have particularly high It is concluded that alexithymia, as defined...

The rate of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and brain abnormalities was analyzed in 31 individuals (15 males, 16 females; age range 1mo to 31y, mean 8y 11mo) with CHARGE association, as part a multidisciplinary study. A meticulous neuropsychiatric examination performed, including standardized diagnostic interviews. Judgement regarding ASDs impossible three infants patients who were deaf blind. Five met criteria for autism, five an autistic-like condition, seven autistic traits. Brain...
Abstract CHARGE association (CA) consists of a non‐random ocular coloboma (C), heart anomaly (H), atresia choanae (A), retarded growth and/or development (R), genital hypoplasia (G), and ear anomalies hearing impairment (E). A prospective multidisciplinary study 31 Swedish patients with CA was undertaken in order to describe the associated malformations functional deficits, find possible etiological factors identify critical time periods for maldevelopment. The clinical files were analyzed,...
ABSTRACT Background: Peripheral catheterization is a common procedure, which affects numerous patients in health care today. Having peripheral venous catheters situ might lead to complications such as thrombophlebitis and sepsis, clinical guidelines have been developed assist nurses their decision‐making. Several reasons are given for clinicians not always adhering guidelines, although adherence fewer complications. Aims: This paper aims describe registered nurses' national local on by...

An increasing number of people with intellectual disability (ID) are reaching older ages today although they experience more health problems than the population without ID. Leaders in services can greatly influence conditions for a healthy ageing, and aim present study was to explore ageing this group from perspective leaders. Interviews 20 leaders were subjected qualitative content analysis. The findings gave rise overall theme dependence, which emerged following six categories: Supporting...

Nine children aged 3-I 6 years with an autistic disorder were given auditory integration training for half-hour sessions during 10 days according to guidelines suggested by Guy Berard. No significant change in overall symptom level could be documented 9 months later. However a small but non-significant reduction of 'sensory problems' as rated the Autism Behaviour Checklist was noted.
As part of a multidisciplinary study, the rate autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disability (LD), and brain abnormalities was examined in 20 participants (12 males, 8 females; age range 8mo‐17y, mean 8y 1mo) diagnosed as falling within oculoauriculovertebral (OAV). A neuropsychiatric examination performed, including standardized diagnostic interviews. Two individuals met criteria for autism, one autistic‐like condition, five autistic traits.
