Multisystem developmental disorder
Appearance
Multisystem developmental disorder (MSDD) is a term used by Stanley Greenspan to describe children under age 3 who exhibit signs of impaired communication as in autism, but with strong emotional attachments atypical of autism.[citation needed] It is described in the DC:0-3R manual.[1]
Other uses of the term
The term multisystem developmental disorder has also been used to describe various developmental disorders. These include:
- Cornelia de Lange syndrome,[2] an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by short stature, excessive hairiness, mental retardation, and problems with the sensory organs such as hearing loss, dry eyes, and lack of sensitivity to pain.[3]
- Alagille syndrome,[4] an autosomal dominant disorder with a wide range of features and manifestations. Its five most significant features are chronic choleostasis, a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum, occurring in 95% of cases; heart abnormalities (over 90%); butterfly vertebrae; posterior embryotoxon and a distinctive face (prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, and a pointed chin).[5]
- Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome[6], a mental retardation syndrome characterized by broad thumbs, facial abnormalities, and big toes alongside mental retardation.[7]
- Renal-coloboma syndrome[8]
- Williams syndrome,[9][10] a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a unique profile of strengths and deficits; most with the condition have mild mental retardation but have grammatical and lexical abilities above what would be expected from their IQs.[11] They are hypersocial and empathetic, but social isolation is commonly experienced.[12]
- Proteus syndrome,[13] a congenital disorder causing disproportionate growth of skin, bone, and other tissues.[14]
- Asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia,[15] a autosomal recessive skeletal disorder with an estimated prevalence of between 1 in 100,000 and 1 in 130,000 live births.[16]
Symptoms
- Toe walking[17]
- Pragmatic speech problems[18]
- Clumsiness[19]
- Obsessions and rituals[20]
- Sensory issues[21]
