Tests in Autism
Actually Dr Kondekar Doesnot advise any tests in Autism. Actually in most cases of autism, tests are not needed for diagnosis or monitoring or treatment.
ASSESSMENT TESTS:
Diagnosis of Autism is by questionnaires. For process of certification the ISAA questionnaire or INCLEN _AIIMS is recommended in Indian Law. Actually most questionnaire based tests are based on DSM IV criteria for autism, which is actually outdated after 2013 when DSM V is proposed.. In DSM V severity was decided by scores of DSM IV based tools like ISAA CARS ADOS 3di etc
There are very few questionnaires based on DSM V [ form 2 as above ] are available. AIIMS has modified its INCLEN tool as per DSM V.
The severity is not decided by scores but by level of disability.
actually test results are reports based answers to questions and observation by a pediatrician or therapist or psychologist. the test reports may change as per the answers given by parents and also often its natural for parents to go defensive when a question points out at some disability. Remember a level of development that is not consistent age appropriate and reciprocable will not be taken as positive development during that assessment.
So results may be different from person to person taking the test.
I RECOMMEND NOT TO GO BY TEST RESULTS BUT USE THEM FOR DOCUMENTATION ONLY.
OTHER TESTS :
OFTEN ARE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES.>>>
1. BIOCHEMICAL BLOOD TESTS FOR RARE DISEASES ; THERE IS A LIST, OFTEN IN SEARCH OF ACCIDENTAL RARE METABOLIC DISEASE OF MENTAL RETARDATION REALTED ISSUES. RARELY OF SOME HELP IN GIVING SPECIFIC COCKTAIL MEDS. Like say homocysteine, CPK, TTG, b12, lead,etc I don't ask any of them on routine basis.
2. GENETIC TESTS - DEPENDING ON CLINICAL PICTURE, ITS OFTEN LIKE SAY FRAGILE X, MEPC2 ETC DNA/MLPA / MUTATION STUDIES OR KARYOTYPE, CHROMOSOMAL MICRO ARRAY, EXOME SEQUENCING WES/CES, AND TRIPLE TEST MAINLY THESE WILL BE OF HELP IN PREVENTING AUTISM IN NEXT PREGNANCY. CHK THE PDF ON THIS PAGE FOR WHY GENETIC.
3.NEUROIMAGING & EEG - FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND IN CASES OF EPILEPSY OR SYNDROME SUSPECTED. DR KONDEKAR PREFERS MRI BRAIN MRS WITH TRACTOGRAPHY OR PET, PRE AND POST TREATMENT OF SIX MONTH.
4. TESTS DONE FOR IMMUNITY FUNGUS TOXIN METALS AND MICROBIOME ASSAY --- NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL FOR DIAGNOSIS OF AUTISM..

Comprehensive Child Care Core Consultancy in Clinical Child Neurology, Mumbai
NeuroDiagnosisUnderstanding a difficult child or delayed child or an autistic or hyperactive child is not easy. So is its certification by a specialist depending on various screening tools and investigations. This involves Developmental Pediatric specialist and at times investigations like neuroimaging, EEG or Blood tests.
Some children do need MRI scans for diagnosis, BERA, VEPs for sensory assessments. Some diseases are neurometabolic and genetic and may need special biochemistry and karyotype. NeuroModulationChild's brain responds to interventions by modulations. Its a sort of training for the plasticity of brain by which neurons get trained and supertrained to be more efficient next time. Selectively encouraging specific issues and inhibiting few, neuromodulation results in parent satisfaction and improvement of quality of life.
sensory integration and postural and tone managements at times with medicines may prove key for specific targetted vocational outcomes. |
NeuroSupportiveMost issues related to development and neurology are comorbid, interlinked and collectively resulting in poor outcome. May be it, a psycho social or language issue.. or a nutritional one. Pediatricians helps understand the parallel and supportive maintenance of other systems while the problem is being stressed on. Diet/ Medicines for brain nourishment, general growth,seizures,spasticity,ADD, hyperactivity, etc and family based support is key for accepting newer therapies.
NeuroInterventionDiagnostic and therapeutic interventions help the parents understand the process of development with the help fo therapist. With involvement of parents in the interventions, often therapists may support a child to regain or develop a milestone in given situation. Neuro intervention is a continuous process till achievement of a satisfactory result.
physical therapist and occupational therapist help in sensory integrated interventions. |
All diseases are not curable, most are modifiable.. so much so that without intervention and therapy life would have been miserable. Aim of our services is to make each child manageable for day to activities, education and psychosocial metamorphosis. each child does respond differently to interventions, some children take a longer time {years} depending on seriousness of issues; leaving hopes is no good Rather we start giving hopes when other tend to lose them. Structured efforts are key to modulations.
