Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to examine oral structural and functional problems in children with autism.
Detailed Description
In this descriptive study, children with autism will be screened for oral structural and functional problems. In this context, observational evaluation will be made. The presence of tongue thrust reflex, chewing performance and salivation control in children will be examined.Within the scope of the research, demographic data, parameters related to the oral motor development stage (time to transition to solid food and solid food, time to first teething) will be recorded according to parental report. Oral structural evaluation, including open mouth, high palate, oral hygiene and malocclusion, will be made observationally and recorded as present/absent. Within the scope of oral functional evaluation, tongue thrust reflex, chewing function and salivation control (dooling) will be evaluated. The questions the investigators will test for this purpors; Q1:What oral structural and functional problems are seen in children with autism? Q2:What is the frequency of oral structural and functional problems seen in children with autism?

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Demographic Information Form
Time Frame: 1 month
Descriptive information will be recorded.
Time to achieve Oromotor skills
Time Frame: 1 month
Parameters related to oromotor skills (transition time to additional food and solid food, initial teething time) were recorded based on a parental report.
Oral structural assessment
Time Frame: 1 month
Oral structural evaluation, including open mouth, high-arched palate, oral hygiene and malocclusion, will be made observationally and recorded as present/absent. Evaluation of malocclusion will be made observationally while at rest. It will be recorded as normal, over jet, open bite, deep bite and cross bite present/absent.
Secondary Outcomes
- Drooling of saliva evaluation(1 month)
- Chewing evaluation(1 month)
- Tongue thrust evaluation(1 month)
