Objective: To study atypical eating behavior (AEB) in various variants of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to determine the prognosis and therapeutic tactics.
Material And Methods: One hundred and eighty patients (110 girls, 70 boys), aged 2 to 5 years (mean age 4 years), with a diagnosis of «Childhood autism» (F84.02), «Atypical autism» (F84.1), «Asperger Syndrome» (F84.5) and the presence of AEB were examined.
Results: Three clinical variants of ASD accompanied by AEB were identified: catatonic-regressive (75, 41%), catatonic (81, 45%) and hyperdynamic (24, 13%). The most pronounced AEB were in the catatonic-regressive variant, and the least in the hyperdynamic variant of ASD. The severity of AEB is associated with the severity of cognitive dysontogenesis.
Conclusion: The characteristics of AEB are associated with the leading clinical syndrome of ASD. The severity of catatonia and regression affects the depth of AEB, which leads to secondary somatic disorders. Specialists of various profiles should participate in medical work for successful rehabilitation and prevention of somatic complications.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects up to 1 in 59 children, and is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent genomic studies have highlighted the role of rare variants in ASD. This study aimed to identify genes affected by rare variants shared by siblings with ASD and validate the function of a candidate gene FRRS1L.

The cerebellum, identified to be active during cognitive and social behavior, has multisynaptic connections through the cerebellar nuclei (CN) and thalamus to cortical regions, yet formation and modulation of these pathways are not fully understood. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) respond to changes in local cellular activity and emerge during development. PNNs are implicated in learning and neurodevelopmental disorders, but their role in the CN during development is unknown.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder poses challenges in social communication and behavior, while Intellectual disabilities are characterized by deficits in cognitive, social, and adaptive skills, frequently accompanied by stereotypies and challenging behaviors. Despite the progress made in autism spectrum disorder research, there is often a lack of research focusing on individuals with co-occurring autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Robot-assisted autism therapies are effective in addressing these needs.
