Autism spectrum disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that are characterized by impaired social interaction and communication skills, and are often accompanied by other behavioral symptoms such as repetitive or stereotyped behavior and abnormal sensory processing. Individual symptoms and cognitive functioning vary across the autism spectrum disorders.
Little is known about the associated psychiatric disorders that may contribute to impairment. We identify the rates and type of psychiatric comorbidity associated with ASDs and explore the associations with variables identified as risk factors for child psychiatric disorders.
