A total of 212 parents of adolescents diagnosed with mood disorders were recruited from psychiatric outpatient and inpatient settings.

Current evidence does not support a simple association between ASD and offending; rather, offender presentations in autistic individuals appear heterogeneous and are likely shaped by the interaction between core autistic features, intellectual and adaptive functioning, comorbidity, developmental adversity, and contextual stressors.</p><p><strong>Participants and methods: </strong>This clinical-forensic case series describes seven offenders with ASD assessed within the Italian forensic psychiatric context. The cases encompassed multiple offending domains, including homicide, stalking, and persecutory acts, alleged sexual offending, property-related offending (arson), and domestic abuse. In several instances, ASD was identified for the first time during forensic evaluation in adulthood, often in the context of atypical presentations, variable cognitive functioning, and overlapping psychiatric or personality features.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Across cases, offending-related conduct appeared to arise through different psychopathological and developmental pathways, including rigidity and restricted interests, social naivety, impaired contextual understanding, concrete or idiosyncratic interpretations of interpersonal situations, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal vulnerability, and co-occurring psychopathology.

Data were collected from 1296 college students across nine universities in China via an online questionnaire (mean age = 19.46 ± 3.05 years). Participants completed the self-developed Questionnaire on Crisis Life Events for College Students, the Self-Rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ).
