Somatic Diseases in Autistic Children

Medical Monitoring and Somatic Diseases in Children Who Suffer From Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

For many reasons, medical monitoring in autistic patients is very difficult. This study is designed to determine the prevalence of comorbid diseases (neurological, cardiac, digestive, dental diseases…) in patients suffering from ASD to prevent them or diagnose them earlier.

Mean goal : to determine the prevalence of comorbid diseases (neurological, cardiac, digestive, dental diseases…) in patients suffering from ASD to prevent them or diagnose them earlier.

Secondary goals :

• to obtain an objective assessment of the "general" monitoring in these patients (vaccinations, growth…)
• to assess their habits (food, sleep, screen exposition)
• to determine, in this monitoring and the habits, vigilance points which will need a specific pediatric consultation.

Inclusion criteria:

- consultation after psychiatric evaluation

Exclusion criteria:

• age > 18 years
• Impossibility to obtain the consent of parents / legal representatives.
