Baby videos provide a clue (Zappella et al., 2015) | 34 children in Italy were identified as having autistic behaviors in their second year of life. Families reported that development during the first year of life had been normal and they donated the videos that had been recorded before the age of 6 months. Videos of 18 boys were examined in detail. Abnormal general movements, which are spontaneously generated central pattern generators and modulated by more rostral brain regions, were seen 10 of the 11 boys who were eventually diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 3 and 7 years. In contrast, normal general movements were seen in the 8 boys who had autistic features. Interestinly, 7 of the 8 boys with transient autistic behaviors were later diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and 4 of the boys with autism spectrum disorder were diagnosed with TS as a comorbidity. These results, combined with the recent nearly ubiquitous availability of home baby videos in some cultures, suggest a pseudo-prospective study design to identify features predicting later development of TS.
Clinical features associated with an early onset in chronic tic disorders \citep{26596364}
| "Early-onset The clinical characteristics of children who developed TS
was significantly associated before the age of 4 were compared with
an increased those who were older than 6. The younger group had a higher rate of
stuttering and stuttering, other speech disfluencies
as well as an increased rate of (e.g., speech initiation difficulties, speech prolongation), and oppositional defiant
disorder, symptoms disorder. There was no difference between the two groups in rate of ADHD or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Interestingly, the early-onset group was more likely to have a mother with tics. The authors suggested that
often appear before this difference in onset age
4. Early-onset TS was also linked might be related to
maternal transmission of tics." However, mother sensitivity to the child's symptoms resulting in
this sample tics
starting before age 4 did not predict severity being diagnosed at a younger age, possible prenatal or
comorbid ADHD perinatal environmental factors or "maternally transmitted epigenetic modification or
OCD. | genomic imprinting which may be related to tic onset".
A retrospective review of 1,000,000 people in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database examined the association between epilepsy with TS> 1062 children and adolescents with TS were identified. A group of 3186 without TS but matched on age and sex was used as a control group.The TS group had an 18-fold increased risk of epilepsy compared to the control group and even after adjusting for comorbidities (i.e., bipolar disorder, depression, learning difficulties, autism, anxiety disorder, sleep disorder), the risk of epilepsy was still 16-fold. Although the authors raise the issue that some tics may have been mistaken for seizures, they also suggest that TS children be followed closely for the development of epilepsy.
