Spectrum Disorders

In connection with the increasing the number of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who enrolls in educational institutions of Ukraine, the issue of individualization of physical education (PE) of children with ASD in the school process becomes important. There is little data on the quality of life of schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders. It does not allow to draw individual trajectories of physical education of such children, to help them to improve their adaptability. Most of studies have been performed on males. Objective: to analyze the level of cognitive, physical, emotional, social functioning and functioning in school of girls of primary school age with autism spectrum disorders and compare them with typically developed peers. It was found that there were no differences between the rates of girls with ASD and girls with typical development in walking and running, feeling of pain and low energy levels, the frequency of school absences due to doctor visits and the frequency of forgetting things. However, the level of development of cognitive, social and emotional functioning of girls with ASD is significantly lower than the indicators with typical development by all criteria. To overcome the problems with cognitive, social and emotional functioning of girls with ASD, it is recommended to select appropriate means of PE. In oder to improve the cognitive processes (attention, memory) of girls with ASD, we recommend to increase the amount of means that promote the development of coordination in PE classes; to improve physical functioning - exercises for developing muscle strength and endurance. The game activity with normal girls will help to improve the social well-being of girls with ASD. We should use oriental martial arts and oriental gymnastics to improve the psycho-emotional state of girls with ASD.

Neuropsychological Findings

Abstract Objective Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES) is a rare cerebellar malformation resulting in agenisis/hypogenesis of the vermis. The main clinical features include truncal and/or limb ataxia, neuro-ophthalmological abnormalities, hydrocephalus, and dysmorphic signs, as well as difficulties with attention and emotional/behavioral regulation. This case contributes to the RES literature by providing a pediatric neuropsychological profile of RES with features of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome (GLHS) alongside imaging and comparison with related syndromes (e.g. GLHS, Autism, Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS), ADHD). Method The patient is a 12-year-old male with a complex medical history including hydrocephalus, strabismus, gross/fine motor delays, and bilateral alopecia. Psychiatric history includes anxiety, depression, mood lability, and social difficulties. Incidental imaging findings of rhombencephalosynapsis were found during Neurology consult. Imaging showed stable ventriculomegaly, aqueductal stenosis, and low lying cerebellar tonsils. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation was completed to assist with treatment recommendations. Results Neuropsychological testing demonstrated above average intellectual/reasoning abilities, with relative weaknesses (base rate difference < 5%) in attention, working memory, and processing speed. Primary deficits in shifting/flexibility within executive functioning tasks and social/emotional functioning, including rigidity of expectations, poor perspective taking, and all-or-nothing characterization of people and events. Fine motor deficits were also observed. Conclusions The RES literature is sparse, particularly for pediatric cases with average or better intellectual functioning. This case study provides concurrent neurological and neuropsychological findings which have been implicated in related conditions with cerebellar abnormalities, particularly the a) absence of the vermis and associated emotional lability and b) executive deficits of shifting/flexibility affecting cognitive, social, and emotional functioning.

Objective. To examine physical, cognitive, and social-emotional predictors of quality of life (HRQOL) and functional disability (FD) in adolescents diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis-1. Methods. Participants were twenty-seven adolescents with a diagnosis of NF-1 who were recruited through an NF-1 specialty clinic at a large Midwestern children’s hospital. Measurements of the adolescents’ cognitive functioning, pain, FD, HRQOL, and social and emotional functioning were obtained with corresponding parent measures. Results. Emotional functioning significantly predicted youth-reported and parent-reported HRQOL, whereas days of pain significantly predicted youth-reported FD. Conclusions. NF-1 is a complex disease. Measurements of the overall impact of the disease tap into different aspects of the effects of NF-1 on daily life. Global outcomes such as HRQOL appear to be influenced especially by emotional functioning, whereas outcomes such as FD appear to be influenced by the physical/organic aspects of NF-1.
