Abstract

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare genetic disorder and often co-occurs with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum (ASD). The present case study illustrates possible therapeutic interventions of these common psychiatric comorbidities taking into account the family interaction patterns. This can contribute to improve holistic management and overall level of functionality.

Keywords: Coffin‐Siris syndrome; interaction patterns; psychiatric comorbidities; therapeutic intervention.
