Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder. This review covers genetic influences, medical comorbidities, and management strategies for children and adolescents with ASD.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasingly understood as an organic neurodevelopmental disorder.
  • Genetic factors play a significant role in the etiology of ASD.
  • Associated medical conditions are common in individuals with ASD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of genetic factors in autism spectrum disorder.
  • To discuss associated medical conditions in individuals with ASD.
  • To explore management and treatment aspects for affected children and adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current research on autism spectrum disorder.
  • Synthesis of information on genetic influences and comorbidities.

  • Discussion of clinical management and treatment approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • Genetic factors are fundamental to the neurodevelopmental pathways implicated in ASD.
    • A range of medical conditions frequently co-occur with ASD, impacting overall health.
    • Evidence-based management and treatment strategies are crucial for improving outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • ASD is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with significant genetic underpinnings.
    • Comprehensive management addressing both core symptoms and associated medical conditions is essential.
    • Further research into genetic factors and effective interventions will advance care for individuals with ASD.
