Case Report: Autism Spectrum Disorder and amplified pain-

Abstract:

"Among the core features of ASD, altered sensitivities in all modalities have been accorded increasing importance. Heightened sensitivity to pain and unusual expressions of and reaction to pain have not hitherto been widely recognised as a presenting feature of ASD in general paediatrics. Failure to recognise ASD as a common cause of pain can lead to late diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, distress, and further disability. Two cases are presented which illustrate the late presentation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (Asperger’s Syndrome subtype) with chronic unusual pain. Conclusion. Pain in autism can be atypical in its experience and expression and for this reason may go unrecognised by physicians treating chronic pain disorders."

Conclusion:

"Autism is relatively common, with a prevalence of around 1% of the population. Affected individuals may experience sensations in all modalities with raised or lowered thresholds and sometimes in qualitatively abnormal ways. Amplified pain may be a presenting feature of autism, and its unusual character may delay diagnosis when individuals present to general physicians."

Meaning due to a wide array of comorbid conditions that correlate with #autism --- many on the spectrum live with these comorbid conditions on a daily basis. A vast majority are subject to chronic and even heightened pain. Making them potential #opioid targets as well.

Fact #chronicpain qualifies for medical cannabis in #OH yet #opioidaddiction & #autism do not.
