ASD EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
The case of facilitated communication - ANSWERDoes it work? It can or it can't
What does the research tell us? Depending on the subjects and how its done
facilitator was causing it to occur
-Still do facilated typing today
Was it biased? yes because they tried to find people who could do it on their own
-ppl took sides (some can do it and some cant)
Assimilation - ANSWERHelp students adapt to current or future physical or future
physical and social environments.
Ex: Teach person how to dress themselves
Accommodation - ANSWERChanges the environment to fit the idiosyncratic needs
of each individual
EX: Shoes with no laces instead of shoes with laces
PROBLEM: WHen change to much its easier to accomade but doesn't promote them
for the world.
Developing surveillance and screening - ANSWER-Should be performed on all
children
-Involves first identifying those at risk for any type of atypical development, followed
by identifying those specifically at risk for autism.
(parents may not pick it up, 18 months=1st test peidiatrition to look for signs)
Developmental screening - ANSWERApproximately 25% of children in any primary
care practice show developmental issues.
-Fewer than 30% of primary care providers conduct
standardized screening tests at well child appointments
-The AAP stresses the importance of a flexible, continual developmental surveillance
process at each well child visit and recommends eliciting and valuing parental
concerns, probing regarding age-appropriate skills in each developmental domain,
and observing each child.
Goals for them: - ANSWERMainstreaming
integration
inclusion
Vaccines and ASD - ANSWERAndrew Wakefield (1998) Lancet publication claiming
that the combination measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine caused autism.
--We saw several children who, after a period of apparent normality, lost acquired
skills, including communication. They all had gastrointestinal symptoms, including
abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating in some cases, food intolerance.
, (retracted-problems with journal no longer exist)
Vaccines and ASD2 - ANSWER-Nine children, it said, had diagnoses of regressive
autism and all but one were reported with non-specific colitis.
-The new syndrome brought these together linking brain and bowel diseases.
(childhood disintegrative lost skills they had)
Regressed and had symptoms of autism)
Vaccines and ASD3 - ANSWERThousands of parents in England chose to not
vaccinate their children.
Hundreds were hospitalized and 4 died.
Three in Ireland and 1 in london died because their parents feared the MMR vaccine
more than they feared the measles.
(feared vaccine more than measles)
Problems with the study - ANSWERThree of nine children reported with regressive
autism did not have autism diagnoses at all. Only one child clearly had regressive
autism.
-Despite the paper claiming that all 12 children were previously normal, five had
documented pre-exsisting developmental concerns
-Some children were reported to have experienced first behavioral symptoms within
days of MMR, but the records documented these as starting some months after
vaccination.
-In nine cases, unremarkable coloinc histopathology results-nothing no or minimal
fluctuations in inflammatory cell populations-were changed after a medical school
"research review" to "non-specific colitis"
(Someone changed documents)
Problems with the study continued - ANSWER-The parents of eight children were
reported as blaming MMR, but 11 families made this allegation at the hospital. The
exclusion of three allegations-all giving times to onset of problems in months-helped
to create the appearance of a 14 day temporal link
(11 families came in only 8 made it to the study others were dropped.)
-Patients were recruited through anti-MMR campaigners, and the study was
commissioned and funded for planned litigation.
Jenny McCarthy vaccines - ANSWER-Has child with Autism believe it was because
of the vaccines
-Mercury in vaccine (removed in European countries)
no evidence that is been removed
Vaccines recorded in school to not spread. If only 2 have bad side affects it doesn't
matter as long as it doesn't spread
(36 shots put together)
Assessment - ANSWEREvaluating aspects of children's behavior for purposes of
calssification and/or diagnosis
(difference between assessment is that it can overlap)
I know they haven't, whats the significance
