Abstract: | Autism is recognized as an additional diagnosis possible in people with Down syndrome. This pathology is still rarely detected and treated in this population in France. This article is a review of the English literature and of studies led during the last fifteen years. Studies have identified the expression of autism clinical signs in children with Down syndrome and the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic instruments for autism in this population despite their cognitive impairments. This paper emphasizes authors’ recommendations about intervention taking into account the dual diagnosis: they encourage the identification of autism as well as early and appropriate intervention for those children whose needs differ from their peers without comorbid disorder. These results show the need to educate professionals about the importance of the detection of autism in children with Down syndrome, and the prevention that could follow. |
