Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and interaction, stereotypical behaviors, and restricted interests or activities present during early periods of development. Obesity, which is an important public health problem, is also becoming a serious problem in individuals with ASD. In this case report, we aimed to represent the multidisciplinary medical and psychiatric treatment of a 16-year-old adolescent with ASD and obesity who was consulted for bariatric surgery.
