Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with Syndromic Autism

This is a case review of a young savant artist diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (or TSC for short). According to the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(R) (OMIM), there are two types of TSC, with two different codes/classification numbers: (i) #191100 for TSC Type 1, and (ii) #613254 for TSC Type 2. Both TSC types have associated comorbidities such as autism, developmental delay and intellectual disability. The aim of this monograph is to provide diagnostic information about the syndrome with its comorbidities so that educational therapists and other allied professionals working with such individuals will know what to look for, especially the TSC-associated comorbidities, and in that way, they become better informed to know what to offer in their Response to Intervention (RtI) for such individuals with TSC.
