The review presents an analysis of the mechanisms of iron effect on the brain development. The importance of iron deficiency in the perinatal period is considered as a risk factor for the development of neuropsychiatric disorders in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Possible causes of sideropenia are discussed; data on haematological and biochemical parameters characterizing iron metabolism in children with ASDs are presented. The demand for studying the role of iron metabolism imbalance in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders in order to clarify pathogenetic mechanisms of ASDs and to determine methods for their correction is emphasized.

Aim of the study was to form target system of clinical correction, based on the analysis of pathogenesis factors of odontophobic reactions in children with autism.Materials and methods: 30 children with various dental diseases which had a concomitant diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders and showed odontophobic reactions were examined. The detection of odontophobic reactions was performed using the ethological method.The results of the search for targets for psychocorrection interventions at each level of presentation of each pathological phenomenon, which determine the development of odontophobic reactions in children with different levels of mental health, allow us to formulate a targeted model of adaptation to the conditions of dental admission.Conclusions: psychocorrection interventions aimed at leveling odontophobic reactions of stenic-negativistic, insulating and transaffective type in children with autism are formulated by modifying the basic phenomena of their pathogenesis (fencing, stereotypes, and anancasms).
