Abstract

Aim: Research is required to study the relationship between age of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and the presence of comorbidities.

Method: The Gastrointestinal Symptom Inventory, Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbid for Children, Behavior Problem Inventory-Short Form and Social Communication Questionnaire were completed by parents of 129 children and adolescents with a diagnosis of ASD.

Results: Results revealed significant relationships between the age of ASD diagnosis, the presence of comorbidities and intellectual disability. Significant correlations were found between the age of ASD diagnosis and self-injurious and stereotyped behavior. Comorbid psychopathology significantly predicted the presence of GI symptoms. In addition, the relationship between comorbid psychopathology and challenging behavior in this study was reported as bi-directional as both comorbidities predicted one another in the sample.

Conclusion: Future research needs to consider the role of comorbidities in relation to ASD diagnosis.

儿童和青少年自闭症谱系障碍的年龄诊断和合并症。

目的:需要研究自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)诊断年龄与合并症存在的关系。方法:对129例诊断为ASD的儿童和青少年的家长进行胃肠症状量表、儿童自闭症谱系障碍-合并症、行为问题短表和社交问卷调查。结果:结果显示ASD的诊断年龄、合并症的存在与智力残疾之间存在显著的关系。ASD诊断年龄与自残和刻板行为之间存在显著相关。共病精神病理显著预测胃肠道症状的存在。此外，在本研究中，共病精神病理和挑战行为之间的关系被报道为双向的，因为两种共病在样本中相互预测。结论:未来的研究需要考虑合并症在ASD诊断中的作用。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
