Missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of adults with autism spectrum disorder

Laura Fusar-Poli et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the psychiatric history of adults in Italy who received their first diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study found that many participants had previously received diagnoses of intellectual disability, psychoses, personality disorders, and depression. The study also identified sex differences in the age of diagnosis and ADOS-2 scores. These findings provide important information for child and adult psychiatrists.

Clinical signs associated with earlier diagnosis of children with autism Spectrum disorder

Nachum Sicherman et al.

Summary: The study found that clinical signs strongly predicting early diagnosis are not specific to autism, but rather initiate the process leading to an ASD diagnosis. Some clinical signs were positively correlated with delayed diagnosis. In children without early deficits in communication, diagnosis is delayed.

Associations between social camouflaging and internalizing symptoms in autistic and non-autistic adolescents

Courtney J. Bernardin et al.

Summary: Autistic individuals experience higher rates of psychiatric comorbidities, with camouflaging potentially being detrimental to mental health, especially for females. The level of camouflaging predicts depression, anxiety, and stress in both autistic and non-autistic adolescents, suggesting interventions focusing on social skills, self-acceptance, and self-esteem may help reduce negative effects of camouflaging.

Testing the Latent Structure of the Autism Spectrum Quotient in a Sub-clinical Sample of University Students Using Factor Mixture Modelling

Craig Leth-Steensen et al.

Summary: Factor mixture models were used to examine the latent structure of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient among undergraduate students, revealing the presence of two or six latent classes with distinct profiles across the set of 50 AQ items. Further differentiation was found within each class based on five latent factors, suggesting phenotypical heterogeneity at the sub-clinical level.
