Diese Liste ist keinesfalls vollständig, und es müsste natürlich noch sehr viel mehr aufgelistet werden an wichtigen, interessanten Informationen.

Environmental risk for autism, explained

Sleep problems in autism, explained

Conditions that accompany autism, explained

www.spectrumnews.org/news/conditions-accompany-autism-explained/

 

“Which traits or conditions commonly accompany autism?

The conditions that overlap with autism generally fall into one of four groups: classic medical problems, such as epilepsy, gastrointestinal issues or sleep disorders; developmental diagnoses, such as intellectual disability or language delay; mental-health conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder or depression; and genetic conditions, including fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis complex.”

 

 

Sensory issues in autism may have sex-specific roots

www.spectrumnews.org/news/sensory-issues-autism-may-sex-specific-roots/

 

“Girls and boys with autism show different patterns of brain activity in response to sensory stimuli.”

 

 

Rodent models of autism miss milestone in brain signaling

www.spectrumnews.org/news/rodent-models-autism-miss-milestone-brain-signaling/

 

“In the womb, the chemical messenger gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, excites neuronal signals. GABA temporarily switches to being an inhibitor of brain signals around the time of birth and then permanently assumes an inhibitory role again about two weeks later.

But in mice exposed to inflammation in utero, GABA remains excitatory.”

 

 

Autistic people should be valued for their strengths in the workplace

Invisible man? Move over for invisible mouse

www.spectrumnews.org/news/invisible-man-move-invisible-mouse/

 

“Some of these lymphatic vessels serve as a passageway between the brain and the skull, the team found. The results hint that the skull plays an active role in the immune system.”

 

 

Vagus-nerve stimulation may ease hearing problems in Rett rats

www.spectrumnews.org/news/vagus-nerve-stimulation-may-ease-hearing-problems-rett-rats/

 

“The vagus nerve, located in the neck, is one of several nerves that connects the brain to the body. In their previous work, the researchers studied vagus-nerve stimulation in rats with tinnitus, or ringing in their ears. They found that stimulating the nerve with electric pulses while playing different tones helps normalize neural activity in the auditory cortex, which processes sound.”

 

 

Cerebellum's role in autism may depend on timing

www.spectrumnews.org/news/cerebellums-role-autism-may-depend-timing/

 

“The cerebellum has traditionally been known for controlling movements and posture. Postmortem studies have found that the cerebellum of autistic people has unusually few Purkinje neurons, which connect the region to other brain areas.

The new studies add to mounting evidence that the cerebellum also governs language, cognitive and social development. Autism may involve alterations in any or all of these skills.”

 

 

Autism severity in children tracks with mothers' serotonin levels

www.spectrumnews.org/news/autism-severity-children-tracks-mothers-serotonin-levels/

 

“The new study is the first to link maternal serotonin to autism traits in people: It hints that developmental problems worsen as maternal serotonin declines.”

 

 

How history forgot the woman who defined autism

www.spectrumnews.org/features/deep-dive/history-forgot-woman-defined-autism/

 

“Historians are beginning to ponder why it took nearly a century for the DSM-5 — published in 2013 after years of debate — to arrive back at something so close to Sukhareva’s list …”.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Early Childhood and Risk of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Nationwide Longitudinal Study

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30403445

 

“Data from this study suggest that the incidence of ADHD, ASD, and DD significantly increased after TBI events in early childhood (< 3 years of age). The risk factors include severe TBI, repeated TBI events, and TBI at a younger age. The long-term follow-up demonstrated an increased cumulative risk of ADHD, ASD, and DD after TBI.”

Extreme male brain theory of autism confirmed in large new study – and no, it doesn’t mean autistic people lack empathy or are more ‘male’

https://theconversation.com/extreme-male-brain-theory-of-autism-confirmed-in-large-new-study-and-no-it-doesnt-mean-autistic-people-lack-empathy-or-are-more-male-106800

 

“… autistic people are not uncaring or cruel but are simply confused by other people. They don’t tend to hurt others, rather they avoid others. … So autistic people do not lack empathy. …“

“In addition, adults in the ASD group may have difficulties prioritizing visual information in the central visual field over visual information in the peripheral visual field when in unfamiliar environments, which may have implications in understanding their motor behaviors in new surroundings.”

 

 

Drug treatment in medicine and psychiatry – papering over important differences

www.joannamoncrieff.com

 

“Psychiatric drugs do not target underlying disease or symptom-producing mechanisms; … most tests of dopamine activity show no differences between people with psychosis or schizophrenia and those without; tests which do show differences have not controlled for the many other things that are known to affect dopamine activity including stress, movement, smoking and in many studies the residual effects of current or prior antipsychotic treatment. …”

“First of all, he had limited use of expressive language. … Because his understanding of language was often literal, he frequently missed the points of other people’s jokes. …

In summary, the clinical evaluation and the scoring tests suggested that an autism spectrum disorder was present even if never ‘suspected’ before.”

www.madinamerica.com

“… I have found that much if not most of my support efforts involve trying to undo the harm caused by the mainstream mental health care system. … I also see psychosis as extreme responses to trauma for the most part. … The problem is, once you get a diagnosis like ‘schizophrenia’ you get put on drugs. You probably don’t have a brain disease when you get diagnosed, but pretty soon you will have a real brain disease if you stay on the drugs long enough ….”
