摘要:Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs) are severe and pervasive disturbances affecting central areas of development (DSM-IV-TR). It is proponed that the perigestational period encompasses a number of risk factors that influence and affect normal fetal development. The aim of this paper was to study the presence of risks during the perinatal development, considering the responses of 93 mothers of children with a pervasive developmental disorder –autistic disorder, Asperger disorder and PDD-NOS– to a structured self-report. We found significant differences among the PDD groups in the pregestational – malnutrition/anorexia and hypertension– , in the perigestational – malnutrition/anorexia and problems with the amniotic fluid–, and in the psychosocial –unwanted gender baby– dimensions from the analysis of the responses.
