Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by disorders of neurological development, typically diagnosed within the first 4 years of life, clinically presents with impairment in social interaction, deficits in verbal and non-verbal communication, and repetitive and purposeless stereotypic behaviors. One thousand of pre-diagnosed ASD patients, randomly selected, to be part of this study, where attended at the Unidade de Gastroenterologia, Alergia Alimentar e Autismo (UGAAA) at Unigranrio University, School of Medicine. This evolutionary report aims to evaluate the presence of the 6 most common clinical disorders of neurological development in ASD patients, selected to be the core for the table for the diagnosis of ASD.

Highlights

  • We propose in our scale 4 steps in verbal communication: 1-do not speak or babble words; 2-echolalia or words out of context; 3-babble or speak words with context and 4-speak sentences

  • The autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, typically diagnosed within the first four years of life, which clinically presents with persistent impairment in social interaction, deficits in verbal and non-verbal communication and repetitive purposeless behavior [1,2,3,4]

  • This table was based in the most frequent complaints on the occasion of the first medical appointment by over 1000 patients with this disorder treated at UGAAA. (Figure 1)

Summary

VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Individuals with ASD tend to have unique and atypical acoustic patterns in speech. These behaviors affect social interactions and social development and may represent a non-invasive marker of ASD. Functional neuroimaging and electroencephalography recent studies demonstrate that aberrant voice processing could be a promising marker to identify ASD early [6]. We propose in our scale 4 steps in verbal communication: 1-do not speak or babble words; 2-echolalia or words out of context; 3-babble or speak words with context and 4-speak sentences
