Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder is defined by diagnostic criteria that include deficits in social communication and social interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Henceforth in the present study IQ and anxiety of the child were recorded using Seguin Form board test of intelligence and Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (CASI) anxiety scale, in order to assess their anxiety level and ability to cooperate during dental treatment to these children. Material and Methods: 50 participants with autism took part in the study after due consent of their parents (38 boys, 12 girls; age 4-16 years). We examined the distribution, calculated the factor analysis and compared the correlations of the parent-rated 20-item CASI Anxiety scale with the IQ of the child. Results: Chi-Square test for comparison of anxiety with IQ of child showed that more the IQ of the child more is the anxiety and the results were statistically significant (p= 0.004). Conclusion: Children with autism, having high IQ scores were seen to be more anxious and showed more restlessness and tensed behavior as compared to children with lower IQ values. Henceforth necessary changes should be made to accommodate their greater need in behavior management techniques in the dental operatory.
