Autism: EtiologyUnknown in most casesMay have multiple biologic causes: immunizations, toxins, viruses, food, drugsGenetic: 10-20% risk of recurrence in familiesThree to four times more frequent in boys
![Page 11: Sensory/Perception Alterations Genetic Alterations NUR 264 Pediatrics Angela Jackson, RN, MSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c48b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Autism: Clinical Manifestations
Mental retardation (75%) or exceptional skillsDo not deal well with change in routineIncreased activity levels with short attention spanUsually a disturbance of communication, both expressive and receptive, first brings the autistic child to attention

Language is nonexistent or immature, characterized by echolalia, pronoun reversals (using “you” to refer to himself and I to refer to refer to the listener), unintelligible jargonSeizures occur in 15-35% of autistic children
![Page 14: Sensory/Perception Alterations Genetic Alterations NUR 264 Pediatrics Angela Jackson, RN, MSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c48b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
Specific cluster of physical and neurobehavioral birth defects associated with maternal alcohol abuse during pregnancyFAS represents the most severe end of possible damageFetal alcohol effects (FAE) represent less severe forms of damage
![Page 17: Sensory/Perception Alterations Genetic Alterations NUR 264 Pediatrics Angela Jackson, RN, MSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c48b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FAS: EtiologyOccurs in 0.5 per 1,000 live birthsIncreased incidence in Native Americans (1/250)The more alcohol consumed, the greater the risk for FAS
![Page 18: Sensory/Perception Alterations Genetic Alterations NUR 264 Pediatrics Angela Jackson, RN, MSN](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c48b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FAS: EtiologyDrinking patterns that produce very high blood alcohol levels, whether daily or weekly, pose the greatest riskFirst trimester exposure poses risks to structural development, third trimester exposure may impair CNS developmentUncommon in a first pregnancy. Effects of alcohol becomes more severe with each child bornChronic maternal alcohol use can deplete minerals and vitamins available to the fetus
