Abstract

U ovom radu izložene su osnovne spoznaje o poremećaju iz spektra autizma (PSA), ženama s poremećajem iz spektra autizma kao i o biološkim i strukturalnim razlikama mozga u odnosu na spol i na tipičnu populaciju. Prema DSM-V iz 2013. godine PSA opisuje se kao neurorazvojni poremećaj, a simptomi se svrstavaju u dvije kategorije: deficit u socijalnoj komunikaciji i socijalnim interakcijama te ograničeni, ponavljajući obrasci ponašanja, interesa i aktivnosti.
Glavni cilj rada je kroz pregled dostupne literature analizirati te usporediti pojavnost i razlike u manifestaciji kod žena s poremećajem iz spektra autizma. Opisane su strukturalne razlike mozga kod osoba s PSA u odnosu na tipičnu populaciju zatim u odnosu na spol. Također, navedene su teorije koje objašnjavaju i traže uzroke nastanka PSA, a izvučena su tri glavna modela: BDM, GVM i LTM. Većina navoda potkrijepljena je i istraživanjima koja su se provodila s ciljem potvrđivanja hipoteza. Najveći naglasak stavljen je na razlike u istraživanju poremećaja iz spektra autizma poput razlika u socijalnoj komunikaciji, razlika u igri, razlika u repetitivnim i stereotipnim ponašanjima i komorbiditet i prisutnost psihopatologije u odnosu na spol.
Istraživanja na temu žene s poremećajem iz spektra autizma u svijetu ima dosta, ali se još uvijek istražuju razlike u manifestaciji simptoma kao i o pristranosti same dijagnostike.

Abstract (english)

This work presents basic knowledge about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), women with ASD and biological and structural differencies in diagnostic and manifestation of ASD. According to the actual DSM-V (2013) ASD is described as neurodevelopmental disorder and symptoms are divided in two categories: deficit in social communication and social interactions and restricted and repetitive interests, activities and behavior.
The main aim of this paper is to analyze and compare appearance and differences in diagnosis of ASD in women. Furthermore, there are described structural brain differences between people with ASD and general population. Also, theories explaining and looking for the causes of ASD have been outlined, and three main models have been extracted: BDM, GVM, and LTM. Most of the theories were supported by research conducted to confirm the hypotheses. The greatest emphasis was placed on differences in the expression of autism spectrum disorders such as differences in social communication, play, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and the comorbidity and presence of gender-related psychopathology.
There are a lot of studies on the subject of women with ASD in the world, but differences in symptomatic manifestation as well as bias of diagnostics are still being investigated.
