About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Austim Health" by Janet Lintala, DC.
This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. The severity of symptoms can range from mild to severe and can vary widely from person to person.
There is currently no cure for autism, but early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for individuals with autism. Treatment for autism typically involves a combination of behavioral therapy, educational interventions, and medication.
In addition to medical treatment, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also be beneficial for individuals with autism. This can include regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep. Additionally, support from family, friends, and community resources can help individuals with autism lead fulfilling lives.
Its important to note that each individual with autism is unique and may require different treatments and interventions. Its important to work with a qualified healthcare professional to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Slide 32-

Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 32 Statement 6 Individuals with ASDs and gastrointestinal symptoms are at risk for problem behaviors. Sleep disturbances and the other problem behaviors mentioned above may indicate abdominal discomfort. (emphasis mine)
Slide 33-

Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 33 Statement 7 For a person with an ASD who presents for treatment of a problem behavior, the care provider should consider the possibility that a gastrointestinal symptom, particularly pain, is a setting event, that is, a factor that increases the likelihood that serious problem behavior (e.g. self-injury, aggression) may be exhibited. (emphasis mine)
Slide 34-

Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 34 Care providers should be aware that problem behavior in patients with ASDs may be the primary or sole symptom of the underlying medical condition, including some gastrointestinal disorders.
Slide 35-

Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 35 Statement 7, cont’d When abdominal pain or discomfort is a setting event, psychotropic medications are likely to be ineffective and may even aggravate the problem if they have adverse gastrointestinal effects. (emphasis mine)

Slide 68-

Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 68 Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines … and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines… have been observed in children with ASD. Imbalanced levels of these cytokines can augment inflammation and cause excess damage to tissues. (oxidative stress)

VIII. Developmental Optometry Have you ever heard things like: He knows how to do it, he just doesn’t want to He’ll only do it if he feels like it Oh, he’s smart but he’s lazy Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 90
Slide 91-

VIII. Developmental Optometry The brain doesn’t always coordinate sensory input well. Vision is one of the five senses Two eyes = duplicate sensory input to an overloaded brain ASD patients often have double vision and other issues that are unsuspected Copyright 2016 Janet Lintala, DC All rights reserved. 91
Slide 96-

Recommended Book on Developmental Optometry About 25% of my patients have unsuspected visual abnormalities, such as seeing double, that are undetected by a regular eye exam. They need an evaluation by a Developmental Optometrist and corrective prism lenses.
