La privation d'expérience sociale dans les troubles du spectre de l'autisme: un facteur pronostique possible?

Aperçu: G.M.

Les troubles du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) sont bien connus pour être influencés par divers facteurs environnementaux. Parmi ces influences, la privation d'expérience sociale (SED) dans l'enfance est l'une d'entre elles et n'est pas bien rapportée. Les chercheurs ont exploré les facteurs qui ont contribué au SED chez 11 jeunes enfants diagnostiqués TSA et les ont comparés à 24 enfants sans SED ayant également un TSA. 

Les interventions portant principalement sur les causes de SED pendant 6 mois ont démontré que les enfants avec SED avaient un meilleur résultat lors du suivi.

Le SED pourrait-il être un facteur pronostique possible chez les enfants atteints de TSA?

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are well known to be influenced by various environmental factors. Among these influencers, social experiential deprivation (SED) in infancy is one of them which is not well reported. We explored factors contributing to SED in 11 young children diagnosed to have ASD and compared them to 24 children without SED also having ASD. Intervention mainly addressing factors causing SED for 6 months demonstrated that children with SED had a better outcome at follow up. Could SED be a possible prognostic factor in children with ASD?
