Aim: This study aims to reveal the characteristics of individuals who have lost an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and to evaluate their current psychiatric diagnoses. Additionally, the study aims to compare individuals who have lost ASD with typically developing (TD) individuals and those with ASD in terms of current psychopathology, functionality and sociodemographic and clinical variables.
Methods: The study included a total of 85 participants aged between 5 and 18, comprising 30 individuals who no longer meet the criteria for ASD (loss of autism diagnosis or LAD), 32 individuals with ASD and 23 TD individuals.
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.
