BACKGROUND Conflicting data emerge from literature regarding actual use of smartphone application in medicine, some authors considering it as a breakthrough while other suggesting that real-life use is disappointing. However, digital tools are everyday more present in medicine. We developed SMARTAUTISM, a smartphone application focused on empowerment in a day to day-based help for parents having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) asking questions and providing a feed-back screen with simple curves. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative usage of a smartphone application by caregivers of ASD individuals. METHODS This is a prospective, longitudinal, exploratory, open study with a 6-month follow-up period of family having one child with ASD. Data are recorded longitudinally, and outcome criteria were: (i) overall filling rate, (ii) filling rate by degree of completion and by interest of users for our feed-back screen and qualitative questionnaire based on attrition. RESULTS Participants have a very high intent to use our app during the six months period (95%). However, secondary analysis shows that only 46 of subjects had constant filling rate over 50%. Interestingly, those high-profile users are characterized by higher use and satisfaction with the feed-back screen when compared to low (p<0.001) and moderate (p=0.007) users. CONCLUSIONS Real or perceived utility is an important incentive in the use of empowerment smartphone apps.

Developmental Stuttering

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering. (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005).

Spectrum Disorders

In this article, I will review the available recent literature about the aging population with autism, a patient group that researchers know little about and a group that is experiencing a growing need for support from communication disorders professionals. Speech-language pathologists working with geriatric patients should become familiar with this issue, as the numbers of older patients with autism spectrum disorders is likely to increase. Our profession and our health care system must prepare to meet the challenge these patients and residents will present as they age.
