Syndromes autism

The co-3 fatty acids have numerous important functions, especially in the brain. Accordingly, a deficiency of DHA and EPA may cause dysfunction of the central nervous system and probably also the retina, thereby resulting in impaired vision. In addition, there is a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders that have been associated with decreased levels of especially DHA and AA, such as, for example, schizophrenia and depression [3], post-traumatic stress syndrome, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Since no primary inherited defect of essential fatty acid interconversion has yet been described, no specific explanations for the essential fatty acid concentration changes are readily available.

Despite its considerable involvement in metabolic processes, no specific deficiency syndrome in humans has been attributed to vitamin B6 (19,103). A considerable number of nonvitamin functions have been suggested, but they remain controversial (102,103,108-111). These include roles in coronary heart disease, immune response, premenstrual syndrome, sickle-cell anaemia, asthma, autism, gestational diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, and cancer.

In terms of approved medical use, the neuroleptics are often prescribed for children with autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Tourette s syndrome. In addition, the popularity of the newer atypical neuroleptics for childhood bipolar disorder is growing rapidly, and sometimes these drugs are the only treatment offered. The neuroleptics are also commonly prescribed for the elderly in nursing homes or other insti-... 

A number of children with specific genetic, psychiatric and behavioral syndromes and conditions are susceptible to insomnia. For example, up to 70-80 % of children with autism and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) [30-33] have sleep problems, including irregular sleep-wake cycles, delayed sleep onset, prolonged night wakings, short sleep duration, and early morning wake times. Sleep problems are...
