Aims: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), and enuresis (NE) are common in children and adolescents and have serious consequences, especially on social and emotional development. Even though much is known about the association between SDB and NE among adults, the number of articles in children and adolescents is limited. Therefore, the aim of the present scoping review was to map out the current knowledge about SDB and LUTD in children and adolescents.

Article Synopsis
  • - The social motivation hypothesis suggests that individuals with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) pay less attention to social cues and have a lower desire for social relationships.
  • - A study involving interviews with eleven autistic men revealed five key themes about their social motivation: social networks, the importance of social contact, challenges in social interactions, the conditional nature of social contact, and the struggle between valuing social interaction and facing difficulties.
  • - Findings indicate that social motivation is not a simple concept for autistic men; instead, it fluctuates based on individual experiences and contexts, suggesting that their diminished motivation might stem from navigating these complexities rather than a lack of interest in social interaction.
