Autistic disorder is characterized by disturbances in social interactions and communication, as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors. It is a severe pervasive developmental disorder starting in early childhood. While the exact causes are unknown, there is strong evidence for genetic factors. Diagnosis involves comprehensive evaluation and no biological tests. Treatment aims to advance normal development in cognition, language, and socialization through educational and behavioral interventions, as well as potentially medication for specific symptoms, though no cure currently exists.
The word ‘Autism’ is derived from Greek word ‘autos’ means ‘self’.

Every year more than 10 million children die in developing countries due to acute respiratory infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhea, measles, malaria, or malnutrition - and often to a combination of these illnesses. In 1990s, the WHO, in collaboration with UNICEF and many other agencies, institutions and individuals, responded to this challenge by developing a strategy known as the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMNCI).This strategy adopted in India as Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI). IMNCI caters to two groups of children
• 0-2 months, referred to as young infants.
• 2 months to 5 years, referred to as children.

disorders. characterized by
disturbances in social interactions,

communication, restricted repetitive and
stereotyped patterns of behavior, interest and

characterized by a total lack of responsiveness to
people, gross language developmental deficits or
distortions, bizarre responses to environmental
aspects e.g. resistance to change or peculiar
interest in an animate or inanimate object”.

4. It is a severe pervasive disorder of emotions, speech and
behavior starting in early childhood after a brief period of
normal development.
Onset : Delays social interaction, language, or play by
age or abnormal functioning in 3 yr
Sex Ratio : Studies based on both clinical and
epidemiological samples have suggested a higher
incidence of autistic disorder in boys than in girls.
Prevalence: 1/1000
5. Etiology and Pathophysiology
Currently, the precise etiology and
pathogenesis of Autism is unknown, organic
brain insult is suggested.
Strong evidence for genetic bases for the
disorders.
The condition was always caused by a
“refrigerator” mother who was not responsive
to the child's emotional needs.
Removal of the child from the family.

Studies of twins indicated high concordance,
especially for monozygotic twin pairs, with
reduced concordance for fraternal, or dizygotic,
same-sex twin pairs.

• Persistent preoccupation with parts of objects
13. Mood and affect of the autistic children -
exhibit sudden mood changes with bursts of
laughing or crying for a no apparent reason .
Improper response to sensory stimuli -
Autistic children may be over responsive or
under responsive to sensory stimuli and mostly
they are deaf. Autistic children injure themselves
very severely and not cry, enjoy music and
vestibular stimulation such as spinning, swinging
and up and down movements.
14. Assessment and Differential
Diagnosis
There are no diagnostic laboratory tests for A D.

completing a comprehensive psychiatric
examination.
History
Particular attention to Developmental phases of
language, social interactions, play
Family history of psychiatric and neurological
disease
16. Course and Prognosis
Autistic disorder is a lifelong disability,
Varies depending on several factors such as IQ,
language development, and early treatment.
About 15 % can lead independent life.
About 50 % can acquire some useful speech but
continue to have disturbed behaviour and cold
emotions.
17. Treatment
No specific treatment
Goals for Treatment
Advancement of normal development, particularly
regarding
cognition, language and socialization
Promotion of learning and problem solving
Reduction of behaviors that impede learning
Assistance of families coping with autistic
disorder
18. Psychosocial interventions
Educational
Curricula that target communication
Behavioral techniques
Structured milieu
Vocational interventions such as speech
training
other specialized and language therapy,
physical therapy and occupational therapy
Social skills training
Individual psychotherapy for high-functioning
individuals

curative
Certain medications may be of benefit for
