Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are among the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Identification of risk and protective factors are necessary to improve the guidance of prevention and intervention strategies. Our study aims to determine the potential risk and protective factors in ASD in the Lebanese population. Our case-control study included 100 ASD patients and 100 healthy matched controls recruited from all the Lebanese districts. The data collected from the questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Independent Student T-test and Chi-Square test were carried out for the bivariate analysis of the data. In addition, the variables revealing a p-value < 0.05 were used for the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Multivitamins intake, especially omega 3 and vitamin B (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.257; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) [0.115–0.579]), rich cereal diet (OR = 0.212; 95% CI [0.089–0.510]), and supplementation in iron during pregnancy (OR = 0.229; 95% CI [0.083–0.627]) were identified as protective factors against ASD. On the other hand, stress during pregnancy (OR = 6.339; 95% CI [2.845–14.125]), the presence of ASD patients in the family (OR = 7.878; 95% CI [1.877–33.065]) and the presence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients in the family (OR = 6.981; 95% CI [1.362–35.789]) were associated with ASD. This study shed light on risk and protective factors associated with ASD in the Lebanese population. Further rigorous research, taking into consideration these factors, is needed to assist in early detection, prevention and subsequent intervention targeting ASD and its associated comorbidities, given that our study is not experimental and does not prove causality.

A problem frequently reported by caregivers of children is food-refusal behavior. Evidence shows that this problem is exacerbated in children with a diagnostic of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In Mexico the prevalence of these problems on this population is unknown. The aim of this study was to conduct an exploratory and descriptive study of the prevalence and characteristics of eating behavior in children diagnosed with ASD. Parents or caregivers of children with a diagnosis of ASD were asked to answer a questionnaire, expressly prepared to obtain sociodemographic data of both parents and children, information of difficult and problematic behavior at mealtime, feeding practices, food preferences, medical information and food consumption by the family and children. It was found that 62.2% of children presented eating behavior problems at mealtime, the most frequent was leaving the table and food refusal. Children with behavior problems ate les food than children without behavior problems. Also a correlation between the number of foods consumed by the family and the child was found. The results of this study represent an initial approximation to the evaluation of pediatric feeding problems in children with ASD in a Mexican population.

The Impact

Families of children with disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), often search for opportunities to acquire information about and receive emotional support from others who may have or had similar experiences. An evaluation of the Dakota Black Goose Family Autism Camp sought to determine the impact of the family camp experience. Pre- and Post-Camp surveys were administered upon families’ arrival at Camp and prior to their departure (n=17) to evaluate the overall quality of the program as well as the level of informational and emotional support anticipated and received. Follow-up interviews were completed six months post Camp to determine how and if families incorporated the information provided at Camp into their daily lives. Overall, participants in Dakota Black Goose Family Autism Camp found a great deal of benefit from participation, especially as it related to information gathering, networking and emotional support, and opportunities for family members with ASD to be able to engage with others in a safe and accepting environment.

The article represents the study of the peculiarities of gender identity in adolescents with ASD. Features of gender formation in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders have been revealed on the basis of theoretic analysis. The results of the empirical study of gender identity in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders were presented. Self-description of adolescents with ASD can have more neutral characteristics (90%), professional roles (60%) and masculine qualities (60%). So it has been found that teenagers with autism spectrum disorders are characterized by a “non-gender-typical self-concept,” that is, family, professional and gender-defined characteristics are not determinative of them in self-description, inferior to neutral-colored qualities. Adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorders like more the masculinized picture (70%) as well as girls (66.7%), but only 40% of the adolescents were able to correctly attribute the pictures to a gender representative. 70% of adolescents attribute to a feminized image characteristics associated with high moral rating, 90% perceive a masculinized figure as weak and passive, which may indicate a specific distribution of roles and responsibilities in the adolescent family with ASD. In general, adolescents with autism spectrum disorders are characterized by a lack of understanding of the difference in genders, their behavioural patterns, the roles played by men and women in the family and society, lack of self-criticism. They also demonstrate a lack of self-identification with their biological sex. The gender identity features identified in adolescents with ASD require focused psycho-corrective work in order to broaden the adolescent's ideas about himself/herself, his or her gender, and his or her own gender characteristics; forming adequate perceptions of the family and the role functions of men and women in it; promoting the identification of the child with his or her gender.
