Manifestcije i vreme javljanja autizma mogu se poklopiti sa prvim prominentnim teškoćama kod dece sa poremećajem razvoja govora i jezika, hiperkinetskim sindromom, mentalnom retardacijom sa psihotičnim simptomima, nagluvošću sa pridodatim poremećajima u ponašanju. Radne dijagnoze koje postavlja dečji psihijatar imaju dinamički karakter, a od strane laika i nekih stručnjaka mogu biti protumačene kao pogrešne. U radu analiziramo evoluciju psihopatoloških ispoljavanja kod dece sa početnom dijagnozom iz autističnog spektra i evoluciju postavljenih dijagnoza kroz vreme (tokom desetogodišnjeg perioda).

Cilj: Utvrđivanje koji su prvi simptomi, uzrast deteta kada je postavljena dijagnoza, utrvrđivanje dostupnosti dodatne pomoći iz domena obrazovanja i socijalne zaštite, kao i dodatne pomoći za roditelje dece sa PSA. Materijal i metode: Korišćen je metod prikupljanja kvantitativnih podataka u vidu ankete, a ispitanici su iz registra pacijenata s dijagnozom poremećaja iz spektra autizma. Uzorak se sastojao od 223 dece muškog pola i 58 ženskog pola (ukupo 281). U istraživanju smo koristili upitnik koji je razvijen od strane Ejmi Deniels (Amy Daniels) i nacionalnih koordinatora Mreže jugoistočne Evrope za autizam (Southeast European Autism Network-SEAN). Rezultati: Ukupno je intervjuisan 281 roditelj. Prosečni uzrast kada je postavljena dijagnoza PSA bio je 45.8 meseci (SD 22.4). Najčešći prvi simptomi kod dece bili su: 1) problem uspostavljanja kontakta očima tokom razgovora ili igre; 2) dete nije razumelo šta mu roditelji ili drugi odrasli govore; 3) teškoće u socijalnim interakcijama; i 4) neuobičajeni pokreti (hodanje na prstima, lepršanje rukama, okretanje oko sebe). Tri najčešća vida terapije koji su korišćeni bili su: tretman govora ili jezika 150 ispitanika (53,3%), farmakoterapijа 83 ispitanika (29.5%) i senzorna integrativna terapija 80 ispitanika (28,5 %). Zaključak: Život dece u poremaćajima iz spektra autizma ne bi trebalo da predstavlja problem samo pojedinca i njegove porodice, već i celog društva. Podrška pоdrazumeva razvoj svih službi koje imaju mogućnost da olakšaju život deci i njihovim roditeljima.

Hightened levels of parenting stress develop in circumstances that make neccessary adaptation in parenting role more complex and hard to achive. Parenting stress is hightened in parents of children with chronic medical conditions and developmental disorders. Increasing number of children with pervasive developmental disorders (autistic spectrum disorders), the intention of recognizing and diagnosing the disorder in early ages and important role of parents and families in treatment and care for child, makes the wellbeing of parents one of the important topics in helping process. In this paper we present results of assessment of parenting stress in parents of preschool children with pervasive developmental disorders in period of diagnostic assessment and corelations beetwen parenting stress and severity of disorder. Parenting stress was assessed with PSI-SF (Abidin) and severity of autistic disorder with CARS (Schopler & Reichler). Almost half of the parents had clinical levels of parenting stress. There was no significant corelation between parenting stress and severity of autistic disorder in our sample. Results points toward importance of adequate support to parents in period of diagnostic assessment of children suspected for presence of pervasive developmental disorders and possibility of using quick standardised instrument for screening that might lead to additional interventions for parents with clinicaly significant levels of parenting stress.

They confront daunting challenges and multiple demands in their daily life, when compared to parents of children with other disabilities or parents of typically developing children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Participants completed The Caregiver Needs Survey, the survey intended for parents or primary caregivers of children with a diagnosis of ASD. During the study, 231 parents were interviewed; 167 mothers and 64 fathers. Parents were recruited from the patient database comprised of families from the two largest cities in Serbia. All of them were contacted before the study, either via phone or at the child's regular check-in visit. RESULTS Over 90 percent of the parents reported that additional support at schools, home, and improved relationships with service providers are necessary and important. The most important challenges related to care were child's communicatio...

In this study we aim to translate, assess reliability and, in part, test the applicability of Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised, with Follow-Up (M-CHAT R/F) in Serbian Healthcare environment. We screened 128 children in three primary healthcare centres and 20 children in a tertiary psychiatric center, using M-CHAT R/F translated into Serbian language, between December 2014 and October 2015. At the end of the screening process 80% of participants in the risk group screened positive for ASD, while in the control group 4 (3.1%) participants screened positive, with a mean total scores of 8.25 and 0.66 respectively. The Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.91 and Guttman’s λ6 was 0.93. Test – retest reliability was deemed as acceptable, and no significant correlation was found between M-CHAT-R/F scores and ...
