UTRIA RODRIGUEZ, Óscar Emilio  and  NIETO CAPADOR, Darío. Perinatal risk factors associated with autistic spectrum disorder and the Rett syndrome. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.13-26.  Epub Apr 10, 2021. ISSN 1900-2386.  https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.4595.

The purpose of this project was to identify the perinatal risk factors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Rett Syndrome and compare them to each other, being framed within a descriptive study; For this research, an analysis unit consisting of 421 medical records was used, of which 377 were from ASD and 44 from Rett, to which a specialized instrument was applied to identify perinatal risk factors called the Maternal Perinatal Risk Questionnaire (MPRQ ), which found a high prevalence of children born by caesarean section and that their parents’ occupations were related to the care required by the disorder. This identification of factors will serve to take precautions at the medical clinical level and at the level of prevention of the risks associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Rett Syndrome.

Keywords : Autism Spectrum Disorder; Rett Syndrome; Maternal Perinatal Risk Questionnaire.
