But in childhood disintegrative
disorder usually occurs later than autistic disorder and involve more dramatic
in terms of skills. In addition, childhood CDD disintegration is much less
common than autism. Treatments for disorders of childhood breakup involves a
combination of medication, behavioral therapy and other approaches. The
researchers have yet to find the cause of this disorder. CDD has similarities
with autism sometimes, and sometimes regarded as a form of low functioning,
Similarities with autism is both
involving normal development followed by a significant loss of language,
social, and motor skills. CDD also known as Heller's syndrome, is a condition
in which children develop normally until the age of 2 to 4 years, but then
showed a decrease or loss of social skills, communication and other skills.
A child who is experiencing the
normal CDD generally shows the development generally until the age of 2 years
and obtain a development of verbal and nonverbal communication, social
relationships as well as age-appropriate motor. However, between the ages of
2-10 years some of these developments are disappearing along with increasing
age ranging from social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
Once again the cause of CDD
surely still unknown. Sometimes CDD suddenly arise within a few days or weeks,
while in other cases evolved over a long period of time. According to the Mayo
Clinic pointed out: comprehensive medical and neurological examination in
children diagnosed with the disorder the disintegration of childhood seldom
uncover the causes underlying medical or neurological Despite the occurrence of
epilepsy is higher in children with disorders of the disintegration of
childhood, experts don't know whether epilepsy plays a role in causing the
disorder". CDD has also been linked to certain other conditions, in
particular the following:
1. Tuberous sclerosis (TSC): in
this disorder, tumors can grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as
the kidneys, heart, eyes, lungs, and skin. In these conditions, non-cancerous
(benign) tumors, hamartomas, growing in the brain.
2. Subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis, chronic infection of the brain by a form of the measles virus
causes subakut sclerosing panencephalitis. This condition leads to brain
inflammation and the death of nerve cells. This condition causes inflammation
of the brain and nerve cell death.
3. Lipid storage diseases or
disorders of FAT: in this condition, a toxic buildup of excess fat (FAT) occur
in the brain and nervous system.
Treatment and therapy for
children :
1. Children who are exposed to
permanent disabilities face in certain areas and require long-term care.
Treatment of CDD involves behavioural therapy and treatment. There is not a
permanent cure for CDD – the loss of language and skills related to social interaction
and self-care are rather serious.
2. Similar to Autistic disorders.
Behavioral therapy is performed also on CDD goal is teaching children to learn
language, back self-care and social skills. Behavioral therapy involves a
number of health care personnel from various fields such as psychologists,
speech therapists, physical therapists and occupational therapists..Programs
designed in this case using a system of rewards to reinforce the desired
behavior and prevent behavior problems. At the same time, parents, teachers and
caregivers also use behavioral therapy. An approach that is consistent with all
the relevant results in better treatment.
