There is Time to Adjust. Aging as a Protective Factor for Autism by Diego Iacono in Gerontology & Geriatrics studies
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is formally diagnosed before the age of 3 that is, when the central nervous system (CNS) is not yet completely formed, but it is mature enough to generate behavioural abnormalities in some individuals when compared to an age- matched group of typically developed children [1,2]. However, ASD is not a life-threating disease and children diagnosed with ASD age at the same rate as their peers. The possible detrimental or beneficial factors associated with aging in children affected by ASD are not fully known. Surprisingly, the amount of peer-reviewed medical and scientific international literature published on the topic of aging with autism is quite modest and sporadic [3]. The scarcity of aging-ASD investigations derives from the lower level of attention, and related funding opportunities, from the major public and private funding agencies for research across the globe
This document summarizes a review article on pediatric headaches. It discusses the epidemiology of childhood headaches, the patterns of childhood headaches, and the diagnosis and management of primary headache syndromes like migraine. Migraines are common in children and adolescents, affecting 1-3% of children aged 3-7 and 8-23% of adolescents. Migraines typically present with pounding or pulsing unilateral or bilateral headaches and associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, photophobia, or phonophobia. Evaluation of childhood headaches aims to identify primary headache disorders or secondary causes requiring further workup or treatment.

Recent research has brought into question the conventional wisdom that more rest is better for concussion recovery in pediatric patients. One study found that patients prescribed only 24-48 hours of rest recovered just as well or better than those prescribed 5 days of rest. Additionally, "Heads Up", a CDC initiative, aims to increase concussion awareness and prevention through educating athletes, parents, and coaches. Finally, all 50 states now have laws regarding concussions in youth sports that primarily focus on education, removal from play, and medical clearance to return to play. A study of Rhode Island's law found it doubled emergency room visits for concussions without increasing medical imaging, suggesting greater awareness of pediatric concussions.
Understanding and properly treating concussions has improved in high school athletics, but risks remain. While coaches and doctors now recognize concussion symptoms, many athletes still fail to report them due to wanting to continue playing. Schools are working to improve concussion assessment, treatment, and communication using baseline neurocognitive tests to help determine when athletes have recovered. However, some argue contact sports will always pose risks and it is difficult to predict how injuries may affect individuals differently.
Sound Waves Help Diagnose Concussions, Study ShowsJimmy_Parker
Researchers have discovered that concussion patients respond differently to sound waves compared to those without head injuries. In a study, children who had concussions reacted less to the pitch of sounds on average, with a 53% less neutral response, while those without injuries did not show this difference. As the children recovered, their ability to process pitch returned to normal. This discovery of an auditory biomarker has effectively identified 90% of concussion cases and could provide doctors an objective way to evaluate brain health after injuries through further development of an application.
This document summarizes a master's project that studied the effects of repetitive motion injuries in youth competitive sports during puberty. Specifically, it aimed to show a correlation between injuries and specializing in one sport from ages 10 to 16. The introduction discusses the rising trend of early sports specialization and notes injuries are often from repetitive motions straining joints and muscles. The literature review covers topics like parents' influence on children's sports, recommendations against specializing before age 12-13 due to injury risk, and studies finding overuse injuries in baseball pitchers and soccer players. The purpose is to encourage participating in multiple activities and sports to develop skills and prevent burnout or chronic injuries from specializing too early.
This study aims to examine the relationship between repeated mild traumatic brain injuries from playing in the NFL and the mental health of retired NFL players. Current research has found links between concussions and neurological and psychological consequences like personality changes, seizures, hormone issues, and cognitive impairments. One outcome is chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which can cause symptoms like memory loss, depression, and suicidal behavior. This study will use neuroimaging and neuropsychological evaluations over 10 years to measure cognitive abilities and mental health in 500 retired NFL players to further understand long-term concussion effects.
This document discusses sport psychology and concussions. It provides an introduction to the field of exercise/sport psychology and how psychological interventions can improve physical performance. It then focuses on football and concussions, how sport psychology is leading efforts to better understand and prevent concussions through improved detection and treatment methods. It also examines case studies of NFL players and discusses characteristics and risks of concussions, especially in younger athletes. General information on concussion rates, risks, diagnosis, treatment recommendations and prevention strategies are also summarized.
Football is facing a major crisis — and not because some NFL players keep taking a knee during the National Anthem. It’s because a growing body of research shows that on-the-field collisions put players at risk for brain injury and a devastating neurological disorder known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). One recent report found CTE in 110 of 111 former NFL players studied.
- Childhood headaches are a common problem, with over 60% of children experiencing occasional headaches and many having recurrent headaches that can impact school performance and emotional development.
- Frequent childhood headaches are associated with an increased risk of developing health problems in adulthood such as psychiatric disorders. Children with chronic headaches may experience long-term underachievement.
- Misalignments or subluxations in the cervical spine are a leading cause of headaches, with over 70% of all headaches arising from problems in the neck. Events throughout childhood such as birth trauma, falls, sports injuries, and prolonged poor posture can contribute to spinal issues over one's lifetime.

One in five high school athletes suffer a concussion each season, with football accounting for about two-thirds of concussions. Concussions can cause permanent brain damage and memory loss. Teenage athletes may be more susceptible to long-term effects from concussions than children or adults because their brains are still developing. Studies have shown that teenage athletes who suffered a concussion within the previous year performed worse on memory tests up to six months later compared to those who did not have a concussion. It is important for teenage athletes to avoid returning to sports too soon after a concussion to prevent worsening effects.

Middle School Football Doesn't Seem to Cause Short-Term Brain Damage: Study
1. Middle School Football Doesn't Seem to Cause Short-Term
Brain Damage: Study
Small review found hits to head occurred less often than for older players; one doctor has some
concerns
FRIDAY, Jan. 9, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Children who play football in middle school don't appear
to have any noticeable short-term brain damage from repeated hits to the head, new research
suggests.
However, one doctor with expertise in pediatric brain injuries expressed some concerns about the
study, saying its small size made it hard to draw definitive conclusions.
The study included 22 children, ages 11 to 13, who played a season of football. The season
comprised 27 practices and nine games. During that time, more than 6,000 "head impacts" were
recorded. They were similar in force and location to those experienced by high school and college
players, but happened less often, the researchers found.
"The primary difference between head impacts experienced by middle school and high school
football players is the number of impacts, not the force of the impacts," said lead researcher Thayne
Munce, associate director of the Sanford Sports Science Institute in Sioux Falls, S.D.
A season of football did not seem to clinically impair the brain function of middle school football
players, even among those who got hit in the head harder and more often, Munce said.
"These findings are encouraging for youth football players and their parents, though the long-term
effects of youth football participation on brain health are still unknown," he said.
The report was published online recently in the journal Medicine Science in Sports Exercise.
For the study, players wore sensors in their helmets that measured the frequency of hits to the head,
their location and force. In addition, the kids were screened before and after the season for factors
such as balance, reading speed, reaction time and self-reported symptoms.
The average number of head hits per practice was nine. During games, the number of head hits was
12, according to the study. Over a season, that worked out to approximately 250 hits to the head, the
researchers noted.
2. One child suffered a concussion during the study. He wasn't cleared to play again until the 27th day
after his concussion, according to the study.
Dr. John Kuluz, director of traumatic brain injury and neurorehabilitation at Miami Children's
Hospital, called it "alarming that kids are being hit with high impacts. The idea that younger kids
don't hit as hard is clearly not true."
He said one problem with the study was its small size. The study authors concluded that the players
didn't suffer short-term brain damage. But Kuluz, who wasn't part of the study, noted that the one
child who had a concussion didn't return to the team for a couple of weeks.
Kuluz said younger children's brains are more pliable and heal faster than older children. Even with
symptoms such as vomiting and forgetfulness after a head injury, younger kids recover faster than
older children do, he said.
Despite the danger of head injuries, Kuluz thinks children should be allowed to play football and
other contact sports.
"The benefits of sports participation in terms of heart health and general conditioning and the social
benefit and teamwork are a great thing," he said.
But, Kuluz added, a lot remains unknown about head injuries in young children. "We need a study
that includes a lot more kids than this," he said.
Parents should talk with their children about concussions, Kuluz said. "Children should not play if
they have had a concussion. Children should let an adult know when they think they have suffered a
concussion. They should describe their symptoms and not keep playing because that is only going to
make it worse," he said.
